Abort, Retry, Fail... Ignore?
Bill Gates, don't be surprised if Democrats running for re-election slowly back away from you for awhile.
Yeah, when he's on his deathbed he'll have an "oh, snap" moment and suddenly realize that a million dollars pays for doctors and nurses also. They get paid money to do their job, Bill, just like teachers. Are there other basic facts of life you've forgotten? Fire hot, sky blue, here's how you tie your shoe.
Somebody get Bill a job.
ReplyDeleteI have sympathy for what Gates is saying, but the point is someone else shouldn't be deciding what I do with either a) my money or b) my health insurance proceeds. these decisions should be between me, my doctor, and my insurance company - since these should be the only parties on the hook. That way the issue of exchanging 25 teachers for 3 more months of my life doesn't even come into play.
ReplyDeleteTthe continued propping up of medicare takes away our soundest arguments against obamacare. So long as we allow government subsidy of any health care, they are going to claim necessity to manage all of it.
anyway, how ironic that i'm allowed to spend all my savings on lipstick and real estate but not on prolonging my own life.
