Money and/or political pull generally decides what treatment people get or don't get. I don't see that changing for the upper class... The impact will be on the average person, so the lower middle class will suffer the most... Of course, since America is a Christian nation, no good Christian will let their brothers and sisters suffer from lack of health care...right? These Christians were ready to pay to feed Terri Schiavo forever with a tube, so there should be no problem with them springing for those who need health care...
People with money will always have pull. Politics does not play a major role in health care in its current state. However, if government takes over health care the entire system will become one huge political mess. Suffer from lack of health care? Walk into the ER. My states health care program for the poor or can't get health care is far better than most private insurances.
What do you mean??? Who doesn't like a frat boy President that spent over 500 days of his presidency vacationing at the Crawford Ranch, Camp David, and the family compound in Kennebunkport, Maine while thousands of American military personnel died after he claimed that the U.S. combat mission in Iraq was over?
