You have to understand, they're not being inconsistent.

Those standards they state are for us. Not for them! Of course they don't have to adhere to them, that's a stupid idea.

Once you understand this, it all falls together. That's why Bloomberg's racism isn't a problem. It's only wrong when we do it. They themselves can obviously speak the truth without consequences.

Medicare is a socialist program, and everyone on it loves it.

Wealthy people rarely reject their Medicare.

Medicare could be good, a d then allow privitzed healthcare with public, mock democracy regulations. I.e. ban government bailouts for Healthcare companies, break up monopolies, creat real competition within state lines with dozens and dozens of healthcare options whoch will lower proces and create good practice incentive as they do not have a handicap to get bailedout by big daddy government when things go wrong.

To play devil's advocate the US has 6 times the population of the UK, so is it so crazy that the higher quality surgeon would naturally be in the US? And then would it be so crazy for a wealthy, very old guy to want the highest quality surgeon he could get?
