From this thread: Ted Kennedy's Health Care To Be Rationed? (Vanity),
As discussed by Rush and others, embedded in the "stimulus" bill is a creation of the "Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research" which would essentially be empowered to ration treatments based on factors such as life expectancy and cost effectiveness which would result in medical dollars for older patients being denied and transferred for the use of younger, "still productive" patients.
Ted Kennedy should be the first victim of this policy. He has destroyed his own health through his drinking, so he should not get any treatment for the brain tumor. Treat someone who hasn’t destroyed their bodies.
