Difference between the major parties on health care

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MAJOR PARTIES ON HEALTH CARE:

Democrats' approach: A man comes into the emergency room with a hangnail. The doctor prescribes half a million dollars of tests to determine the cause and puts the patient on three kinds of expensive medicines. Finally extensive surgery is done to repair the subcutaneous structure of the finger. Democrats say that the government should pay for all of this since he should have the same access to health care as any other person.

Republicans' approach: A man lies at the door of the emergency room in a pool of blood from a life-threatening wound. The Republican steps carefully past him and says, "Lie there and die. See if I care. It isn't my fault that you aren't rich enough to afford health care."
