The case for rationing healthcare — Americans will have to decide what we can and cannot afford. I especially was struck by this bit: We want our doctors to go all-out for our loved ones and ourselves. But as voters and consumers, we send a different message. We pick politicians who promise to cut taxes, and we demand low-cost insurance. We’re telling government and the healthcare industry to hold the line on healthcare costs, even if it means sacrificing clinical benefits. And we put doctors in the middle of this contradiction.

April 19th, 2011 at 9:37 amSince you asked, probably. I need to schedule a follow up with the dermatologist. On the plus side for me, more than likely, if it is cancerous, it’s a squamous-cell carcinoma. So I’m not looking at walking through the hell you’ve been through/will go through. They’ll need to do a razor biopsy to be sure, but my regular doctor was honest enough to say, “Yeah, looks and feels like it. Get it checked out.”
Fuck cancer.
