Quick, quality, or free care

June 27, 2008

You only get to pick two: “When enough people pay nothing for their medical care, that’s just what they’ll get in return. Of course, you won’t be told that you’ll get nothing. You’ll just have to wait so long to get the care that either you’ll get worse to the point that you need emergency care or you’ll just die while you wait.”
