Exactly.
Just think, it will solve the Social Security and Medicare spending problem too, if you are over 65, you won't get medicine, because it's not cost effective, so you die. It will all be "for the common good". And this is not a joke, the fact that they are putting this right into the Stiumulus bill, so most people won't even know it's there, is scary.
House stimulus bill says that "more expensive" medical products "will no longer be prescribed."
“Next month, Obama will convene a “fiscal responsibility summit,” where participants will discuss the spiraling growth of Medicare and Social Security — popular but costly programs that may require a combination of tax increases and benefit cuts to remain viable.”

Denying the medication to keep people alive will be one of the “benefit cuts”. Just wait and see. You get sick, you die, and the state won’t have to pay Medicare costs, or keep paying you Social Security.
Obama is a genius for figuring this out and implementing it — he will have the legacy of “having solved the Social Security and Medicare Problem” (sarc)
Obama’s utopia will waste no money extending the lifespan of elderly useless eaters.
