Paula include Hospitals in that also. Does anyone remember the name
Scrushy? Former CEO of Healthsouth one of the bigger players in for
profit healthcare/hosptials. He is now in federal custody due to
State Bribery charges but was acquitted of fraud with his own company
for misstating profits for bonuses etc. Others were convicted, but not him.
Oh the state fraud charges included healthcare items.

It absolutely is rationing.....we just don't call it that. Depending
on the procedure and your insurance company (if you even have one)
you may or may not be allowed to have said procedure. It's up to, not
your doctor , a medical professional, but your insurance company
employee who was hired off the street. It happens way more than most
people want to think. If you are a patient in an HMO where the dr.
makes more money by NOT prescribing expensive tests or sending you to
a specialist, you are rationed in your care.
National health care is NOT socialist or socialized medicine. People
with money can still go where they wish and pay the price. Even if
you are using gov't paid care, you could still choose your dr. It
depends on how it is set up.
But, until a way is found to get insurance companies and profit out
of the practice of medicine, I see no hope for us.
