HIV/AIDS? You are talking about a protected class there. That will never be rationed.

Seriously, the problem with "end-of-life" care decisions is that a lot of care can be end-of-life care if you deny it. Juvenile cancer treatment, a new born that needs a respirator, a 50 year old that need a heart bypass. All you have to do is make the waiting list long enough. Once you start making those decisions where do you stop. The answer is that you don't.

My grandfather had a bypass/valve replacement done when he was 75. Pretty sketchy, but he lived 4 more years before being felled by cancer. A lot of his health issues were due to war wounds from WWII. His legs were all messed up and he wore two different sized shoes. When they start rationing care to guys like him they will basically saying 'thanks for all the work, paying taxes, bleeding for your country, but we don't need you anymore.'

I don't want to live in a country like that.

And all the while the deluded are screaming for it to pass, and have no clue that this Healthcare for everybody, is really Healthcare many cannot use, who are supporting Obama in wanting it passed....and the private Healthcare will be done away with...albeit slowly.
