Look into a crystal ball in Texas, and you can see Florida's future: Gov. Greg Abbott asks Texas hospitals to delay nonessential procedures as COVID-19 patients strain capacityGov. Greg Abbott announced new moves Monday to fight the coronavirus pandemic as it rages again in Texas, including asking hospitals to again put off certain elective procedures to free up space for COVID-19 patients.
Still, the governor did not back down on his refusal to institute any new statewide restrictions on businesses or to let local governments and schools mandate masks or vaccines.
Instead, Abbott announced he had written to the Texas Hospital Association asking hospitals to "voluntarily postpone medical procedures for which delay will not result in loss of life or a deterioration in the patient’s condition." As coronavirus was consuming the state last summer, Abbott took a more restrictive approach and banned elective surgeries in over 100 counties before ending the prohibition in September.--- Sounds like Freedom is ringing extremely loudly in our small government states! Note that the liberty-minded Governor of the Lone Star State is not asking his patriotic fellow Texans to voluntarily forego elective procedures... no, no. Instead, he is appealing directly to Big Hospital, asking them to do the dirty work of "voluntarily" denying these sovereign citizens their god-given right to make their own choice about what procedures they want and when they want it (based solely on their ability to pay). Tyranny has, indeed, arrived on the shores of the fair Republic of Texas. |
