Ya’ think he was talking about Teddy Kennedy?
You listening, Ted?
Be a shame if Sen. Dash-hole got prostate cancer. He’s old. Why treat it?
| Medicare now pays for treatments deemed safe and effective. The stimulus bill would change that and apply a cost- effectiveness standard set by the Federal Council (464). The Federal Council is modeled after a U.K. board discussed in Daschle’s book. This board approves or rejects treatments using a formula that divides the cost of the treatment by the number of years the patient is likely to benefit. Treatments for younger patients are more often approved than treatments for diseases that affect the elderly, such as osteoporosis. |
" Michael Tanner, a senior policy fellow at the libertarian Cato Institute, told CNSNews.com the question illustrates the fundamental contradiction in the health-care debate.
“ " Everybody wants to live forever, and everybody wants their loved ones to live forever, and nobody wants to pay for it,” he said.
Tanner suggested Devinsky’s question(to the President on his own grandmother) gets to the root of the matter — whether government should make decisions like the ones Obama made about his own grandmother.
" “I think it does show that these are personal questions and therefore something that should be left to the individual and not be rationed by third parties,” Tanner said. " Asked whether there would be any restriction on the kinds of rules a government plan might impose, Tanner said, “No, no, there’s no limit at all.”
“ " (A)nd, in fact, what we would probably see,” Tanner speculated, “is the use of these clinical effectiveness, or the ‘cost-effectiveness research’ studies to begin to say, ‘Well, we’ll stop reimbursing for x, y, and z because it’s not cost-effective.’”
Define "cost effective".
