Second-Class Medicine: Germans Unhappy with Alternative Swine Flu Vaccine for Politicians - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International
-
"The fact that politicians and top civil servants in ministries will be vaccinated with a vaccine other than the people is a terrible sign. Today politicians must take what they recommend."
Virologist Alexander Kekulé Hall of the University Hospital said the fact "that the members of the Federal Government and the authorities have any other vaccine is a scandal."
Obama will kill us all one way or another
It could also pave the way for further health-care rationing if President Obama gets his way in terms of overhauling the entire health-care system. For instance, President Obama's campaign health-care plan calls for subsidies to be given to Americans to purchase health-care from a government run exchange, choosing between a Medicare-like government plan and among private options. The government could mandate that any insurer participating in the government-run exchange must adopt the effectiveness recommendations of the Federal Coordinating Council, and the government could use its increased leverage in the health insurance market to pressure other insurers to go along. Congress could even go further, and pass a law saying that in order for an insurance policy to be eligible for the employer tax deduction, it must follow the same set of recommendations. All of this is spelled out in detail in Daschle's book, which was widely praised by Obama. But more relevant to the current debate, it's another example of how the stimulus package has been used by Democrats as a ruse to achieve some long-standing policy goals that aren't relevant to stimulating the economy.

When the average Canadian becomes sick and is put on a long waiting list, they don't have the money to go to the U.S. to buy health care because they've already spent it in the form of
high taxes! They don't have private health insurance because it's been outlawed. And - they don't have savings earmarked for health care expenditures since the government has assured them
that they are covered.
And - they're afraid. They fear that if they rock the boat by threatening to go to the U.S., that they could lose their place in the health care queue. They fear that they would be seen as
'Un-Canadian'. So, they hope against hope that their number will come up soon before they go blind, become crippled, addicted to painkillers or die. Many of those on long wait lists are old
people on fixed incomes who typically are not saavy enough to research the availability of alternate health care options in the U.S. and are the least able to travel here.
