The ER is the most Marxist building in the modern American hospital. By law, it treats anyone who decides to bleed in the waiting room, no matter their ability to pay, thus fulfilling the "from each according to his ability" requirement. It parcels out medical attention based on severity of condition rather than thickness of wallet, thus fulfilling the "to each according to his need" requirement. It's a socialists redoubt in a capitalist system.Which is why it's a bit odd to read this doctor mock progressive taxation by promising that "instead of providing excellent medical care to the relatively few patients who are fortunate to receive my outstanding personal attention, I have decided that after the election I will redistribute my efforts so that I can provide average care to a few more patients per shift." This coming from a guy whose job is to provide care based on need regardless of contribution and shift the costs onto richer patients. Dude! You are the medical system's equivalent of progressive taxation! DEPARTMENT OF UNINTENDED IRONY.
