Texas death panels…. ‘aka’ critical care guidelines

…when the Obama administration was pushing to pass the ‘socialized medicine’ bill we heard much talk about the death panels every hospital would have and it looks like at least here in Texas, we are about to see them in action.

Because of the delta variant of the COVID virus and millions not getting vaccinated our hospitals are operating at full or over capacity. In some areas of Texas hospitals have had to close because they could not properly treat that many sick people, due to a shortage of qualified personnel or equipment.

To someone at the hospital in charge of these things the solution seems obvious only treat those with the highest chance of survival, and to that end the evening news presented a check list for who would best benefit from continued hospital care.

It appears that this policy has already gone into effect because doctors at Starr County Memorial hospital are already applying a “critical care guideline” to see what patients they will treat and which will not.

A Star county health official said at a news conference, ‘unfortunately we only have limited resources and our doctors are going to have to decide who receives treatment, and who is sent home to die with their loved ones’

One omission from the list

of those who

do not

qualify for help

is anyone

who did not

bother to be vaccinated
