It depends on how much money is allotted to the healthcare budget and how your treatment scores on a quality of life improvement index. Say a hip replacement surgery will improve your QoL by 1.5 points on a 10 point scale and you have a life expectancy of 12 years. This means your treatment has a value of 1.5 * 12 or 18 points. Any treatments with a higher score will be paid first. If money is left, you get your treatment. Otherwise, you don't. Budget cuts, old age, and expensive treatments relative to the benefit the government decides it confers all work against you. |

What He/She Said........... -- "The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their? president.. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince". |

You know.. olders are more set in their ways. Haven't been indoctrinated by the "let's all be world citizens" montra. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
