[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]The Feds ALREADY HAVE A ROLE. That's the REALITY, not my desire, wish or creation. Your whole fragile argument is built on fantasy, not reality. When the Feds do not have a role, when there is no HHS, come back and talk to me.

It's not about who needs a lung and who doesn't, it's about children being discriminated against due to their age when indeed, adult lungs would be a fit in some cases. [/quote]

It is not my fantasy that the Feds have no role in healthcare. That's your fantasy. But, now you are demanding that the Feds have a role while the Fed in question has taken herself out of the process. You are asking for the opposite of your fantasy.

If, as you say, there is no way to escape a Fed role in healthcare, then I still don't know how you arrive at a demand for a single official to make a unilateral decision. At best, you could advocate that the policy be revisited. Sebilius has done that. Experts will review the existing policy and get input from a range of sources. I imagine you might even be able to provide input. This is far better than having Sebilius, let alone a judge, make a decision.

Jeff, you are the master at twisting things to such a degree that you miss the point entirely. The system is set up for Sebilius to be in this position right now. I didn't create that. I don't want it. But it is what it is. So since that's the case, one is forced to work with what one has, not the fantasy of what one wants things to be. The hard, cold reality is these parents had to appeal to Sebilius, a federal official,  to make a decision on a policy. That is reality. That is here, that is now.

Did I say there is no way to escape a Federal role in healthcare ? No. nor do I demand that there be a single official to make a decision. That is again you twisting my words and avoiding the hard, cold truths of this situation and how it is RIGHT NOW, not how it exists in liberal 'what ifs'.
