Most Boring Blog Entry Of The Year
Tuesday, March 6th, 2007Goes to me.
Why?
Because I’m dedicating a post to this story .
Gastric bypass is an expensive procedure, and in most cases, elective. In this story , the Chronicle detailed the woman’s fight to get the procedure done, only after she waited many years and hundreds of pounds to decide “it was time”. This was all greatly hindered by the fact she was a medicaid patient. For all of you bleeding heart liberals out there, medicaid means the doctor loses money to do the procedure, and accepts the risk that the medicaid population, while getting their procedure for free, is the population most likely to sue said physician if anything goes out of the ordinary.
