Just plain wrong.

This sort of thing is the main reason I oppose socialized medicine. If it didn’t have this unfortunate actuarial tendency, whereby human beings get reduced to cost-benefit analyses and the handicapped are seen as a burden rather than as human beings in their own right, I would probably be pretty keen on it. Well, and if governments weren’t so noted for being wasteful bureaucratic black holes, too; but the first reason is more than enough for me.
Do I need to bother telling you how I feel about that story?
DJ, considering your family situation, I think I can take a pretty accurate stab at how you feel about it.
Emphasis on the “stab”.
There’s an article in today’s Detroit News about a cognitively-impaired young man enrolled in a special program at Oakland University, and the U. is denying him residency in the dormitories because he’s not a ‘real’ student. My blood’s boiling right now.
