   "But if not #Obamacare, then what?"
   
   I was always fond of personal responsibility. But that's just me.

     @reality The part where you get to pay for others' ignorance and laziness, or the long wait times?

     @reality Dunno. There was that woman that gave a TED Talk and said she had to wait six months to attend to her broken hip.

     @reality We've Jenny McCarthy & Chuck Norris and the like to thank for this to some degree. It's the opting out of vaccines, not the system.

     @reality Sure, triage works reasonably well for the most part.

     @reality Sure. It's part of this massive anti-intellectual bent we've got. It's disgusting. http://qttr.at/kqq

     @reality 1) "Think of the children" always wins 2) Some people cannot get the vaccine due to issues like allergic reaction. Who pays?

     • reality karen teaduck III
     @reality Also this is the first example that sprung to mind. There's the "fat acceptance" movement as well. Ruins kids' lives. Who pays?

     @reality I would be totally on-board with this. And this does pan out with other medical treatments. For some stupid reason, the vac. thing

     @reality is treated as sacred ground because all one need do is invoke their "belief system".

     @reality Sure. There are cases of life-long fallout or death, but I agree this is just a subset of a subset of outliers.

     @reality I agree. However, there's  constant debate in the US about there the parents' powers end & state begins. And there would be riots

     @reality if vaccinations were deemed mandatory.

     @reality Right. "Herd immunity" works.

     @reality The "freedoms" thing gets bandied about all the time, and decisions are made off "feels" rather than facts.

     @reality Again, look to the McCarthy/Norris/Oprah thing. Get in the media, feed into fears, and we're off to the races.

     @reality Another example of a different stripe: There's a fair number that "know" the Sandy Hook shootings were fake. Sickening.

     @reality Agreed. And though one should be able to question, not throw all reason out with the baby. Or bathwater. Or whatever.

     @reality Apparently she gave McCarthy airtime because "mommas know", regardless of facts. So it got the idea into the public's eye.
