I had another thought about Nevaeh Crain and the other women who have died or nearly died due to the new abortion law because doctors will obey the law instead of saving the life of the woman. Of course, if the woman dies, so does the embryo or fetus. The rationale is "saving the lives of the unborn."

However, the situation for doctors is almost an experiment about how far the oligarchs can manipulate the healthcare system. What if our rulers decide that anyone over the age of 70 who can't pass a cognitive exam should be denied healthcare including vaccines, antibiotics, insulin, etc.? Would the system go along?
The Germans in the 1930s were led to whole-scale genocide, beginning with the extermination of people in institutions who needed care and were determined to be "useless eaters." The slippery slope eventually included more people deemed unworthy of resources and even their lives.
I was recently denied a continuous glucose monitor my physician decided was medically necessary for me because I had severe side effects from several classes of drugs that treat type 2 diabetes. I must control my blood glucose with diet and exercise, so the CGM is medically necessary. The denial (paraphrased) said that because I am not on insulin or proven that I have problematic episodes of dangerously low blood sugar, I'm not worthy. The CGM resources will be allocated to those who need a CGM more than I do. I have nocturnal hypoglycemia, which eventually causes heart and brain damage if not controlled. This may lead to what is now being called "type 3 diabetes" or Alzheimer's dementia.
In other words, the private Medicare Advantage Plan doesn't have to pay for it with the excuse that other people need this supposedly scarce resource more than I do. That's rationing my care while billions from the Medicare Trust Fund are going to the MA insurers. The question is, where do we draw the line? They'll keep pushing until we do. I am appealing to an Administrative Law Judge for the third time. Meanwhile, the pharmacy had agreed to fill my prescription for cash, although they previously would not allow me to pay cash when the MA plan denied payment.
