It’s called rationing health care and it is in the Obamacare plan.
That’s right the Death panels Sarah Palin was accused of making up.
Go ahead folks ignore this at your grandmothers peril.
Every society rations health care. Using different methods such as whatever you can afford, rationing by waiting time, decisions by insurers as to what they will cover, etc. It seems perfectly obvious that no society can possibly provide to every member the level of care that its President or PM would receive, for example.
Unless you have a LOT of money or possibly one of the Cadillac insurance programs, there are a lot of constraints on what medical services are available to you.
Which is not to say that putting the government in direct charge of the rationing is a good idea.
