Carolyn- OT Again-

In your cheering for Apollo, you utterly ignore the issue of costs, who should pay [and whose life will subsequently be constrained], and should I (or anyone) be coerced into paying for other people's medical services. I'd almost wager this latter is a given to you- well it's not for me. And frankly, I suspect if you bothered to think about it, it wouldn't be for you, either. But as best I can tell, based on your response, you simply don't care to trouble yourself with such questions. Nonetheless, you are happy to cheer someone who refers to an admittedly controversial poster as an "idiot" without so much as bestirring himself to state what is idiotic.

BTW, I think my dentist- who's made a small bundle out of me- is genuinely concerned about the welfare of his patients too. But, as dentistry does not benefit from taxpayer's "largesse", he and I cannot be unmindful of the costs of treatment. And for me to demand otherwise would be to attempt to make him my slave.

<<he didn't order unnecessary tests>>
That I am aware, nobody on the thread has referred to ordering "unncessary tests", whatever they may be. So I gather your referent here had no antecedent.
