    Dont be so sure about that Honey Kong. Ive posted it before where obama himself said, sometimes the surgery isn't the best solution and its better to just take the pill.

    What if they tell you well you are over 50 so your usefulness has diminished so instead of fixing you here is a pill so you feel better for now, no options?

    A pill would be an improvement to what I would've been able to get previously.

    But really, the triage situation your describing is due to the current limited supply of medical care. In the previous medical situation, the guys who couldn't afford it would go without (or get thrown in the bankruptcy with the debts incurred). And so the solution is simple. Stop the medical industry from restricting the number of people who can enter the profession as a way of keeping their salaries inflated. That means opening more medical schools and taking on more students. It also means making the educational system attainable to those who otherwise couldn't afford it. If you increase the pool of licensed doctors, facilities and nurses to meet the demand 100%, the triage problem will not occur.
