The elderly and infirmed go last. Save Resources for those who can be productive
How old is Zeke now? And Rahm?
Why not the “immigrants” living on welfare go last?
As you probably know, Ezekiel Emmanuel was one of the architects of Obamacare. It didn’t get wide report (naturally) but Emmanuel said that anyone over 75 should be denied medical care.
But I wonder. Would that rule also cover the ruling elite - like senators and judges - over 75? I don’t believe Ezekiel ever got around to addressing that.

Along with that are the votes. What’s a better deal to get votes, a knee for an 80 year old women, or 4000 immunization shots for young kids? A hip for an 85 year old man, or a clinic that can quickly and efficiently treat 1000 kids running a small fever for the same cost? Swapping out some valves for a 75 year old woman, or telling her that ‘there’s nothing we can do’ and using that money to subsidize the price of drugs for thousands of people?
Those are the trades and the result is that people in these countries (particularly Canada) generally LOVE their socialized medicine. But when it comes to high-cost stuff, they’re usually too old to bitch (or too few of them, or they don’t even know they’ve been put on a ‘Pathway’, to use the British term for a death sentence)...and so overall public support remains sky high for them.
