Veterinarian health care: Are you ready?

Evolutionary teaching, which instructs us that man kind is nothing more than a higher evolved animal, is coming full swing into our health care issues in America. Our current president, congress, media and academia, if they have their way, will see it done.

The bedrock of ethics for our medical system is the Hippocratic Oath which says “Above all, do not harm.” It is the well being of the patient that drives all of the decisions a doctor or nurse makes in medial issues. Why, because the value of human life exceeds all other considerations in human medical care – not money. In contrast, veterinarian medicine requires the will of the payer to determine the level and quality of care for the animal. A pet owner may choose to operate on fluffy to fix that problem, or the owner can choose to put fluffy down, i.e. kill fluffy. It is the prerogative of the payer/slash owner, not the well being of fluffy, that is the paramount consideration in the health care of animals. Why, because animals do not approach the value of humans. A three thousand dollar operation on fluffy may just be too much for the owner to pay to keep fluffy alive. Given the choice between making the house payment and saving fluffy, most right thinking humans on a budget are going to choose the former. Who is going to tell them they can’t make this choice? Well maybe the city of Boulder put let stay on this planet.

If we go fully down this road, I say fully because we are all ready part way down that path now with the control HMO’s have over patient coverage, to the system President Obama and Congress seem to want , we will be experiencing veterinarian care very soon. However, is that not apropos considering the fact that for a solid eighty years we have been teaching our populace that they are nothing better than animals? Are you ready to be treated as an animal by your master and owner the federal government?
