Crash into plea?
Today I passed yet another gurney (of the ten we got today) filled with another refugee from the BMW plant. So I ask the forum – how can we deal with the influx of our most difficult of uninsurable patients. We’ve all seen them and considered that their life style is sometimes difficult to justifiy. Of course I am referring to the Crash Testers. (I will not use the D-word here).
My more liberal mores make me inclined to help everyone – regardless of their construction –- but how can we offer services to a population with such an egregious pre-existing condition worked right into their physical make-up?
To be fair, CT’s use the regulation safety precautions – straps and airbags etc. Perhaps the system is to blame. But how that helps us with their constant trips to emergency care I don’t know. So I put it to the forum. How can we make sure that everyone gets the care they need and “deserve?”
Frankly, I have to admit – I do find mythbusters hilarious… sorry to CT’s who might find it offensive.
Well that’s an easy one.
Of course D*** should not be covered by heath insurance. After all, they engage willfully in dangerous behaviors, like driving BMWs inside warehouses and crashing repeatedly into walls.
And smokers should not be insured either, because cigarets cause cancer, right?
And the same goes for all these people who drink tap water, which has a 20% chance of violating the Safe Drinking Water Act because it contains toxic chemicals.
And for those who, instead of holding their breath indefinitely, decide to inhale the polluted air of our cities.
In short, if D*** are not insured, nobody should be.
Or perhaps we should all be insured?
