I had to get to the medicine cabinet, eight feet away. It hurt unbearably to stand up. It hurt unbearably to walk. I was screaming with every step I took. I hate to admit it -- I was screaming with pain.
The bottle of Aleve had a "child-proof" closure. I couldn't work it. I couldn't read the directions for working it. Government burocrats had made it impossible for me to get relief. I screamed.
I needed something like codeine, and I nooded it bad. But of course there was no way I could get codeine, though I was screaming with intolerable pain. Government burocrats had declared codeine to be a prescription drug, and there was no doctor to write a prescription at that time of night. I could not buy the medicine I so desperately needed, on the free market, because the freee market no longer exists in the 'land Of The Free". So I screamed, and it didn't help at all.
Do you think you will be able to get pain killers under government controlled medicine ? Just beacuse the Great Polished Liar mentioned it as an alternative to real medical treatments [Blog 1 and 2] ? Well, if the government rationers decide that it is "good for society, you may be left without pain killers too, to scream your way to death, as a "socially useless" person.
By whose standards? Obama's. E. Emanuel's [Blog 24]. By the standards of all the political pragmatists who think that the individual should be sacrificed to "society".
I found some Ibuprofen, and finally got some relief. I stopped screaming.
But I can't help wondering how many others will die screaming as a result of the government takeover of all health care.
