To honor Teidrich: What kind of sh*thole doctor... [View all]

Dr Oz says uninsured ‘don’t have right to health’ but should get 15-minute checkups in ‘festival-like setting’

Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate Dr Mehmet Oz has said he does not believe Americans have a right to health care, but he thinks the uninsured should have access to 15-minute checkups in a “festival-like setting”.

The celebrity doctor made the eyebrow-raising comments while speaking at the National Governors Association winter meeting in 2013.

He pitched governors on the idea of working with local health providers to host 15-minute screenings "in a festival-like setting" that would be inexpensive for the state and the participating hospitals.

I'm all for a quick screen... but let's say this "festival" doctor finds something. Then what?

A lot of dangerous conditions need regular monitoring (and sometimes medication): diabetes, high blood pressure.

I imagine if you kill off the poor people, it will allow for more tax cuts for the wealthy.
