"The provision penalizing doctors establishes that for at least five years, Medicare physicians who authorize treatments for their patients that wind up in the top 10% of per capita cost for a year will lose 5% of their total Medicare reimbursements for that year," he explains to CBN News' David Brody.

"This means that all doctors treating older people will constantly be driven to try to order the least expensive tests and treatments for fear that they will be caught in that top 10%," Balch adds.

Zero and the 'Rats are totally depraved.

This will definitely bring on rationing! do not expect to receive quality heath-care if this monstrosity passes, unless you are a democrat bigwig. These restrictions will never apply to obamma and his mob!

It is generally understood that expenses on the elderly in the last months of their lives constitute the largest mother lode of wealth left to be mined in this increasingly played-out economy. One way or the other, no matter how they camouflage their words, the 'rats are going to get Granny.

They've looted the Treasury, tapped out the Fed, fouled the international trading nest, destroyed the currency. There is no alternative source of funding left. It's that simple.

What “liberals deny and keep from the ignorant sheeple, is that EVERYTHING government does involves taking something from someone, somewhere, in someway as a result of whatever the government “gives” to anybody.

Every government gift is a loss somewhere else, to someone else in the economy.

There is no free lunch.

Nothing in the current health non-reforms will “save” a dime - everything is cost-shifting from the private economy, and your private decisions, to taxes and government expenses. In the end, it will cost allot more and be worth allot less.

Zer0bama is mentally deficient if he thinks he's going to kill off the elderly to save money. EMAIL all your elderly friends with this info. Get this article out to as many people as you can and ask them to email their Congress Critters, their newspaper Letters to the Editor, etc.

If you penalize doctors in this way, you give them an incentive not to accept the most critically ill patients and/or those with the most baffling conditions.

So much for insuring that everyone has a doctor.

Sick. Warped. Demented.
