You’ll need two forms of official identification and a recent bank statement for that kidney transplant
Over at Blue Oregon, a guest columnist has penned a beauty of an article titled, “The right is hunkered down in the hinterlands.” Besides the fallacious assertion that conservatism has now been relegated to extras from Deliverance, I found this passage particularly amusing:
Lately, I’m talking with people who are outraged about health care, but against any type of single payer program, in which “some government bureaucrat” will make their health care decisions. Inexplicably, they seem to prefer those decisions being made by a corporate bureaucrat intent on making a profit.
Someone give this man a remedial economics textbook. You see, it’s that “intent on making a profit” part that’s the difference. Shitty government agencies don’t have to worry about making a profit, which allows them to stay perpetually shitty (e.g. the post office, the DMV, etc). When was the last time you went into a private medical practice to be greeted by some rude hag and forced to sit in a smelly waiting room for a couple hours, only to find that you didn’t have the right type of identification, right type of payment or some other esoteric, mind-bending requirement?
To put it simply (as many here and elswhere have): Imagine the DMV managing your essential life-functions.
