<div>It seems to me that the more fixes there are, the more
ridiculous the whole Obama strategy of torturing the public with
sequester into accepting Social Security cuts in the Grand Bargain
looks. The more exceptions, the more ridiculous the "across the board"
story appears.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So it's in the interest of the masses that there be as many
exceptions as possible.</div>

<div>Therefore, as soon as anyone comes up with a plausible story for
an exception, everyone should pile on. Meat inspectors! Absolutely! Air

<div>In this light, I offer you: cancer clinics.</div>

<div>Cancer clinics: Our cuts from sequester needed earlier remedy

<div>A particular argument for it: the big picture story was supposed
to be that the sequester was supposed to exempt Medicare and Medicaid
beneficiaries. But apparently cancer treatment has turned out to be an
exception, because of the way Medicare decided to calculate the cut to
providers in this case. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A second argument: making people go to hospitals instead of
clinics costs the government more money.</div>
