Here in Oregon a woman was told that she was too sick for the State to pay for chemo but they offered to pay for her assisted suicide drugs.
Soylent Green is coming.
Then the latter had better get the Obama stickers off their bumpers because, since "All politics is local", should I get an adverse diagnosis and am refused treatment, I am taking those bastards with me.
Soylent Green anyone?
Just like paying taxes, following the rules is not for the elites like Daschle or Kennedy.
Rationed care is for the little people.
Right. The decisions of who gets to live and who gets to die will be made because they must. The only thing is that before insurance, the individual made the decision of when health care was no longer cost effective. He used his own dime, and made his own decision. With insurance, insurance companies made the decisions, tho your doctor could overrule if he cared enough. Now, big government bureaucrats are going to decide when your care is no longer cost-effective.
Someone explain to me, why the American public wants government health care so badly ? Because they think that everyone will get everything they want/need, but this is childish thinking. Adults know that hard decisions have to be made, and it's best if each one makes their own.
More like Logan's Run.

Nothing wrong with Ted that a good ride over the Chapaquidick bridge couldn’t cure. I have nothing nice to say about this guy and never will.
It is my feeling that Teddy should get the same level of health care as that received by Mary Jo K after he heroically pulled her from that car in...
What’s that?
NEVER MIND!!
Unfortunately "ugly" isn't terminal.
I think Teddy and Ginsberg should be the examples of Universal Health Care treatment now-—so we can see how it will work for the rest of us...but they will never be treated like the rest of us!
Well folks, O'Bungle told us and told us that his mission is "Hope, not fear" and that he represents "Change you can believe in".
He tole Plumber Joe that he was going to spread the wealth, and Plumber Joe immediately got an anal exam for daring to ask an impertinent question of the Master.
And just a week or so ago O'BoomBoom informed some of the legislature that their changes were DOA hecause "I won".
It isn't hard to take the "I won" pronouncment as another way to say "To the victor belongs the spoils". Marcy and Andrew Jackson saw it that way, and obviously O'Bumble does too.
We won! We will decide who lives and dies!
The porkulus bill is an outrage, and the new health standards are going to be even more so.
Ted and his whole damned clan have *always* had an incurable brain malady (Liberalism), and as such, are a waste of resources, namely air.
Good point, but as always, it is one standard for the rich and powerful and another for the rest of us.
“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.”
And the flip side is that armed citizerns can also make choices on who will live.
