You Haven't Suffered Enough!
I don't know how many commercials are in this series; this is the second that Instapundit has posted. The first subject ended up coming to America for care, this woman got treatment after begging doctors for two years:
There's a BB King tune, he sings "Went down to the welfare office to get myself some grits and stuff. The woman said you ain't been around long enough! Everybody wants to know why I'm singin' the blues..." I cannot imagine hearing "you have not suffered long enough -- others have been on the list longer."
But of course that will not happen here: we Americans are so much kinder and more generous than Canadians and our government is so much more efficient than theirs -- no doubt our version of socialized medicine will rock!
She deserved it! Single mom? What was she thinking? She should have had an abortion! Filthy breeders like this shouldn't get anything!
So let me get this straight - Canada's national health said she couldn't get treatment because "you aren't old enough." But Robert Reich said "if you're very old we're not going to give you all that technology and all those drugs ... it's too expensive so we're gonna let you die."
So you can be denied because you are too old OR because you're too young. Or too rich, poor, smart, dumb, white, black, fill-in-the-blank.
