Yes, that medical system involves “rationing,” but rationing already goes on here, more than we admit. Why not make it official? Let’s be honest: such a system would cost some Boomers their lives, but they would die in their 80s or 90s, unlike the teens and 20-somethings who gave their lives in World War II. Just a thought.

This "thought" represents the moral collapse of America.

It is also possible those other countries don’t do their statistics the same way we do. Which is actually pretty common.

Like the “Infant Mortality” thing. The US seems to count miscarriages while other countries count babies after birth and some a day or three after birth before their counted in the stats.

So you can’t really compare the US and, say, Cuba when it comes to infant mortality.

Isn't Kinsley a stone's throw from death himself?

Or was?

Perhaps he just wants less competition is the coming battle for rationed Obamacare?

I didn’t know Michael Kinsely was still around, to be honest.

Here is the reality, no matter who is running the country:

Medicare has an unfunded liability in excess of 70 trillion dollars.

A huge percentage of seniors are dependent on Medicare and won’t have significant personal resources to spend on care beyond that.

It’s the Bernie Madoff medicine plan.

So rationing and death panels absolutely will happen.

I bet Michael Kinsley is investing in a new corporation called the Soylent Corporation. Yep! That’s the ticket!

If government weren’t in the healthcare business, these kinds of debates would be passé, part of the bygone totalitarianism of the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, but because we have enlightened socialist polluting every political and cultural thought, this idiocy is considered progressive.

In all candor, I fully expect death panels. Frankly, I expect that I (as in me, personally) will get euthanized in a couple decades.

So will many others.

Once that monster is unleashed, its appetite will grow without limit until it has consumed lots and lots of people. That's the ironic point - those who advocate this will, at some point, become fodder.

I honestly don’t know that this is true, but I heard some “expert” say that if you examine life expectancy, other than lives lost through murder or car accidents, that America’s life expectancy is as high as any other country’s. I have no idea where you’d verify that, but it’s certainly food for thought.

A nation that murders its unborn babies will have no problem killing its senior citizens.

That the Leftist solution to healthcare is to kill the sick so perfectly sums them up, little else can be said about them.

Except, as vile as these mass murderers are, what does that say about the vileness of the codependent useful idiot enabler liberals who vote for and defend them, while simultaneously sentencing their own family members to death?

Leftists are evil incarnate, drenched in blood and lies. But liberals crawl and whimper at evil’s feet, and wag their asses for a pat on the head as they sell their souls for their masters. The first group is enraging. The second... utterly disgusting.

You do have to ask yourself, at what point are heroic measures a waste ? In the end someone has to pay for it, one way or another. And if we all expect it then we’re all going to foot almost 100% of the bill.

A lot of boomers served in the Vietnam War without finding loop holes to keep them out.

” This “thought” represents the moral collapse of America. “

Fortunately, there is still much of the country that refuses to succomb to this.
