The clear implication is that the GOVERNMENT will decide what medications you can or cannot have, not your doctor. As you said, the 'elite' will get whatever they want. This is how it worked in communism.

Exactly. I want the same exact health insurance policy that Congress gives itself.

It’s mostly not cost effective to keep old people alive, so they’ll probably won’t be able to get drugs, all in the “interest of the common good”.

When I was still active duty, prior to my retirement, my son needed surgery to fix a hole in his ear drum.

We were scheduled for his operation at Bethesda Naval Medical Center and we arrived about an hour prior to our appointment time.

As our time arrived we were told to go home as some jackass Senator's wife, child, whatever, was going to arrive with a possible ear infection and our surgery time was rescheduled to accommodate the possibility that they may need to put tubes in the ears of said Senator's relative.

The nurse told us this with a tone of disgust and gave us this information even though she said she was just supposed to tell us they had to cancel my son's surgery.

I was not told a name but we were pretty ticked off and were rescheduled later that month at a Air Force facility.

This is what Obama and his two-bit wife want for everyone. They fully believe they are better than others and they can feed their egos by ruling every aspect of the lives of all the lesser people.
