MSNBC Defends Rationing: 'You Ration What Food You Eat'

 
MSNBC’s Dr. Nancy Snyderman appeared on Wednesday’s Morning Joe and justified reducing the number of women in their 40s who get mammograms. "No, it is rationing. Let's be clear," she admitted.
 
Confusing private actions by American citizens and the government, the Dr. Nancy host compared, "But, you ration what food you eat. You ration how much sleep you get. And this is saying we should question about how we spend our health care dollars." Of course, the government doesn’t control how much food and sleep Americans get. Read more here.

Who put the idea in our heads that congress makes the rules for what we say, do, eat, and buy? Who put it in our heads that we work for them; that they are our bosses; that they have the right to boss us around and trampled all over our constitutional freedoms? WE are the ones who put the idea in the minds of congress by putting our lives in their hands for far too long. Time to take it back ... they abuse it, they lose it.

What a travesty health care will be when government is involved.
Testing only saves a few lives. And that isn't worth much to them. What would you expect from the left where they believe murdering babies is a good thing! Under the new Government Health Care you are considered surplus population into this Catagory.

This woman's logic is distorted. She is clearly anti-life. Rationed health care will not and cannot lead to further medical discoveries. If something is rationed its because there is a shortage.

Once again, we have a "journalist" witha medical degree engaging in rationalization and excuse making to support a finding and a particular public policy. Dr. Nancy Synderman shows me that she has no respect for human life and that she is a disgrace to a noble profession.

With Obamacare, the upcoming profession to find a job will be in the funeral parlors when the numerous denials of care will begin. The democrats can try to dance around that fact all they want; America knows it is the truth.

It is scary to think that this woman is actually a doctor. Comparing food consumption and sleep to health screenings is ludicrous. She is, without a doubt, a total moron. But what else can you expect from an Obamabot zealot like her. If she has any actual patients in her 'practice' , they should leave.

Let's be clear, Nance, rationing is OK, when I determine what I am going to ration. See, in America, we're supposed to be free, and that means I get to live my life how I see fit (as long as I don't infringe others' rights).
It's a remarkably simple philosophy.
