The left has made it very clear that under socialized medicine death will NEVER be rationed.

Thread by me.

Abortions Need More Funding Than Medical Surgeries Oregon Health Plan Says

Salem, OR (LifeNews.com) -- A new analysis finds that the Oregon Health Plan is perhaps the first government-run health care plan in the world to draw up official procedures for rationing. The plan ranks various surgeries and diseases and conditions in order of importance and places abortion high on the list.

Linda Gorman, a senior fellow with the Independence Institute, produced the analysis, which comes on the heels of concerns about similar rationing in the Congressional economic stimulus bill.

Surprisingly, abortions rank 41st on the list of 680 most important surgeries and conditions to consider.

That indicates "the state considers using public money for abortions more important than treating" other things, Gorman said. . .

The "duty to die" has ALWAYS been the culture of death's goal.

'Right to die' can become a 'duty to die'

Imagine that you have lung cancer. It has been in remission, but tests show the cancer has returned and is likely to be terminal. Still, there is some hope. Chemotherapy could extend your life, if not save it. You ask to begin treatment. But you soon receive more devastating news. A letter from the government informs you that the cost of chemotherapy is deemed an unjustified expense for the limited extra time it would provide. However, the government is not without compassion. You are informed that whenever you are ready, it will gladly pay for your assisted suicide. . .
