"Mass. Pushes Rationing to Control Universal Healthcare Costs (RomneyCare)
A 10-member Massachusetts state healthcare advisory board unanimously recommended
that the state begin rationing healthcare to keep the state’s marquee universal health care program afloat financially.
The July 16 recommendations, the Boston Globe explained, would result in a situation where “patients could find it harder to get procedures they want but are of questionable benefit if doctors are operating within a budget.
And they might find it more difficult to get care wherever they want, if primary doctors push to keep patients within their accountable care organization.”
The Globe stressed that the recommendations would “dramatically change how doctors and hospitals are paid, essentially putting providers on a budget as a way to control exploding healthcare costs and improve the quality of care.”
"Budget" is a more politically acceptable word for rationing.
The Globe also noted that “consumer advocates said patients are going to have to be educated about the new system.” Yes, apparently they will have to get used to having their healthcare rationed.

Would that be a typical white women gramma?

Hussein Obama’s rationed, CommieCare is starting to make me feel like Edward G. Robinson.

You know this is nothing to joke about

It’s not Christmas without Grandma.
All the family’s dressed in black.
And we just can’t help but wonder:
Should we open up her gifts or send them back?

"that everyone that's Medicare age will be visited and told they have to decide how they wish to die."

That way, the government gets to keep their "unused" 50 years worth of Social Security money.

It's the MONEY, honey.

[rabidralph]

Yes, I do, but I am incorrigible.

Putting a price tag on everyone’s existence, how sad is that?

==The U.K.’s National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) basically figures out who deserves treatment by using a cost-utility analysis based on the “quality adjusted life year.”

Sound familiar? It should...

Well we have to laugh, this is horrifying to contemplate. Next step is bonuses for the clerks, bounties, as we pile up

Come on, wadda you old folks complaining about? Don't you know the democRATS "love" you old people? Obama DEATH CARE is wonderful! Besides, all you old and infirm folks have got to clear the playing field for the Obamessiahs legions of up and coming liberal generations.

What did you think was going to happen? YOU senior citizens overwhelmingly voted Obamessiah into power, YOU voted the democRATS into power in the house and senate. YOU wanted "hope" and "change" and sought it from a man that you knew was a socialist, marxist, anti-American, "Afro-centric", "Reverand Wright" black racist whos best friends are domestic terrorists.

Now that the democRATS are in TOTAL power and "in control" you need to do as your told; support Obama DEATH Care and OBEY the Obamessiah! So shut up, lie down, take this pill and DIE so that Obama can continue to make his "brave new world" WITHOUT YOU because your old and infirm and you COST TOO MUCH TO KEEP AROUND ANY LONGER!

The baby boomers are a huge voting block for the democrats, but they'll be gone soon. They're going to have to buy votes from another block to replace them - the illegal immigrant vote........watch for amnesty.

Hey, he is trying to solve the SS problem - give him a break! I mean, he treats his old relatives with the same respect.

[concerned about politics]

Simply put....

The "unused" Social Security from the dead elderly (who's votes are going to have to be replaced because the baby boomer's are many, and are on their way out) will buy health care for illegal immigrants.

The "free" health care for illegals will set the stage for another huge voting block to replace the baby boomers once the amnesty bill (coming next) is passed.
