Here is Congressman Pete Olson, a Texas Republican, lying about about what a public health insurance program would do for an unborn child with a heart defect. Olson contends that the child would be left to die. The truth of the matter is that this woman had to search for a doctor to perform the procedure after being denied by several doctors for her lack of insurance.
This myth about rationing is amazing when you consider that today under the profit-from-death health insurance system, people are left to die all the time. The insurance industry’s purpose is to deny health care, not provide it. The profit motive works well in the computer industry, or travel or apparel but not for health care.
