What Wisconsin means to Obamacare

  While we thought the passing out of fake doctors' notes to "stress" ridden teachers, was as bad as it gets in medicine, another ominous development has emerged on the skyline.
  Apparently the whole "social justice" movement hit medicine a while ago. Along with the QALY based on a person's usefulness to society, medicine is intent on bring "justice" to the people, which apparently means that your MRI will be determined by the color of your skin, your lack of insurance, and your ability to pay, meaning the "haves" will have to fork over their right to proper health care to the "have nots," although those two nomenclatures are increasingly becoming difficult to decipher, based on the government's determination that regular hard working non-unionized people have no right to the result of their work product, AKA money.
  So the whole "You're not a Democrat so, no, no MRI," thing really might happen, only based on whether your new young doctor, who has been trained by the government, received loans from the government and who determined what specialty you'd be going into and even where you'd practice will go along with the social movement of making sure the poor get better care than YOU do.
  Read over at Pajamas Media:

In 2002, the American College of Physicians proposed a charter in which the three guiding ethical principles for physicians would be: patient welfare, patient autonomy, and “social justice.” In 2007, the AMA ITME (American Medical Association Initiative to Transform Medical Education) reported on the importance of training medical students to be better advocates for “social justice,” and proposed changes in the medical school admissions criteria and curriculum to address this perceived inadequacy.
As a result, medical schools are now increasingly admitting students based not on competence in the sciences, but rather on their commitment to “social accountability.” Medical school ethics courses are thus increasingly emphasizing “social justice” over traditional notions of ethics — or the individual patient’s welfare. But “social justice” is frequently just a euphemism for a socialist political agenda of leftist politics, redistribution of wealth, and heavy state controls over the marketplace.
  Relax. It's called the "new medical ethics."
  And it becomes apparent that we've been fighting for a great deal more than just who runs the government.
