Then, most likely, reading comprehension is not your strong suit.

I read the entire report I linked to, Tbomb. Your guarantees are a joke.

I went to your link, King and invite others to read the readers comments there. Larry, I guarantee you have not read any of his writings, just stuff taken out of context by your fellow wingnuts.

Sure he does. He also uses his prior knowledge of the patient, direct examination, information from the family, etc., etc.

As for the other, you folks have become the demonization party. Very ugly and divisive.

Quite a reach. The doctor uses those statistical charts right now. Otherwise, how would he know what to prescribe?

When you say stuff like, Obama demonizes American citizens….your credibility drops a notch. It's just silly to say stuff that's so obviously ridiculous.

What is despicable is killing 4300 American soldiers…for nothing.

Medical professionals use their best judgment on a case by case basis with input from the family. That's a lot different than looking at a statistical chart.

I don't see reason to demonize doctors, either. I've never encountered one who has seemed driven by profit. If I did, I'd switch doctors. But it appears that demonizing American citizens is just what Obama and the dems do, more and more as time goes on.

It's despicable, really.

larry….is it okay for hospitals, doctors, etc. to "place different values on people's lives according to their age?" Because that's what happens every single day throughout the country.

According to your thinking here…..it's okay if for-profit medical professionals, directed by for-profit insurers, place different values on different patients according to their ages…..but it's not okay for government, a non-profit outfit, to do anything that could be interpreted as the equivalent of what happens every single day.

Zeke's writings are creepy, Reverend. He seems to think the government should place different values on people's lives according to their age. Obama has made statements that reflect that kind of thinking as well.

I didn't write anything about the administration's corrupt Chicago machine-style cronyism but that's a pretty good topic, too.
