Think the economy is the only issue in this election, think again. So many socialized medicine advocates tout “preventive medicine” ad the great equalizer for medical costs. Here is an example of preventive medicine to go along with preventing the treatment and preventing the testing called preventive immigration.
I’ve written about socialized medicine here in the U.K. with cases such as the man refused treatment because he didn’t have the survival percentage, dentists cheating the government and their patients, and preventive medicine decisions that delay the age at which women can have breast cancer screening. Now a very personalized and eye opening AP story coming out of Australia.
SYDNEY, Australia (AP) – Thirteen-year-old Lukas Moeller has Down syndrome. His father is a doctor who came to Australia from Germany to help fill a shortage of physicians in rural communities.
But now Australia has rejected Dr. Bernhard Moeller’s application for residency, saying Lukas does not meet the “health requirement” and would pose a burden on taxpayers for his medical care, education and other services.

How sad, state sponsored discrimination against a boy with a disability. I hope the family succeeds in having the decision overturned.

I saw that in the Sydney newspaper! I was desperate to comment on the story and tell the doctor to come on over to America where we don’t do that (yet; he may need to get here before year-end….).
That was an incredible slap in the face of that family; I’m torn as to whether I want them to win there, or come here.
