Health Care Rationing: Letting The Elderly Die

Hugh Hewitt has an article on the Obama Administration's plans for "reforming" our health care system.

In it, Hewitt writes:

The reality of President Obama’s vision for medicine in America is a “single-payer” system, and the reality of “single-payer” is rationing. Because the government is the ultimate provider of medical services, it provides only what it can afford, and when its money runs out, your care ends.

Almost anyone familiar with the push for what is euphemistically called “health care reform” knows that many experts on the left believe that far too many dollars are spent on providing health care to people in the final weeks or months of their earthly lives. If controls can be placed on these expenditures, then more of the government’s resources will be available for younger and much healthier people.


In other words, if you are elderly, the government will just let you die instead of spending dollars on your health care.

Talk to a Canadian or Brit on the "joys" of government-run health care.
