This comes in a fundraising mailer for Senate Republicans, disguised as a "survey." It, of course, looks official, and asks that all-too interesting 3rd question...
Are you concerned that health care rationing could lead to:
23. Denial of treatment in cases where the patient's prospects are deemed not good?
24. A "lottery" system of determining who will get priority treatment?
25. A "quota" system which would determine who would determine who would get treatment on the basis of race or age?
OK, interesting question. We've heard nothing about that from anyone, least of all Senate Republicans, until this very moment.
It leads us to wonder what the targeted recipients might think. And, yes, the answer we suspect some survey takers might give, or at least think, worries us. Seems like more stoking unfounded fears, but 'tis the season - and 'tis waaaaaay off topic as far as we can see.
Hey, if you want to have a conversation about racism, go ahead and do it directly, not in this sly-boots way.
We're curious - why do you think this one is in there?
