Back in 09–when Obamacare advocates castigated those who worried that Obamacare would lead to rationing–Jonathan Gruber said get the law passed first, then refuse treatment later. From the Daily Caller story:
“Let’s get the people covered and then let’s do cost control,” [Gruber said]
Gruber also said that the only way to control costs is to effectively deny treatment. “The real substance of cost control is all about a single thing: telling patients they can’t have something they want. It’s about telling patients, ‘That surgery doesn’t do any good, so if you want it you have to pay the full cost.’”
And guess who decides what “doesn’t do any good” means? Bioethicists–who believe that some lives have greater value than others–and Obamacare technocrats.
No surprise.
I know...just thought I’d post for bookmarking.
To rub in the faces of everyone who voted obozo!
No problem. The EXEMPT and their families
and staff are not under ObamaCARE.
No death panels for them ... or anyone with a Koran.
So, you're saying that if we have to go to the hospital, we should bring a Koran with us?
Sarah Palin said there would be death panels. She has been saying that right from the get go!
So,your a white male Republican- take one aspirin and don’t call us in the morning!
... or anyone with a Koran.
I have a koran. I keep it on the floor of my car. Does that mean I am exempt?
: )
Obamacare’s given the government virtually complete control over a private person’s life. If anyone thinks they aren’t going to exercise that control, they need to share whatever they’re smoking.
But, but, but I thought she was a backwoods hick, just an unlearned rabble-rouser from Alaska...isn’t that correct?
The Left has always wanted to decide who lives and who dies. It’s their dream come true.
"Just give 'em a pill," President Obama.
I have heard that if Medicare does not cover something, you cannot then pay for it out of pocket and get it.
Is that correct?
...he may think so. My estimation is Obamacare is on a DeathWatch.
I really think it is going to be undone.
Still unpopular after so many years, so many challenges, etc.
His signature “law” is going to be shredded.
And that’ll make me smile.
“I have heard that if Medicare does not cover something, you cannot then pay for it out of pocket and get it.
Is that correct?”

No !

BTTT!
That has, however, long been a subject of political discussion on the left. “Fairness should demand that if the treatment is not available to the poor, the rich shouldn’t be able to buy it.” Our OWS types would agree.
I get images of Denzel Washington in a hospital with a gun....
