Emanuel is a loser, but I think Jonathan Gruber was the “Death Panel Guy”. I could be wrong, however.
Zeke Emanuel came up with the ‘Reaper Curve’ (aka his Complete Lives System).
April 2014
“Ezekiel Emmanuel’s Reaper Curve”
“...The period of maximum probability continues until you are about 33 years old. By 50 you are down to only a 75% chance of receiving a needed intervention. By your late 50s you are down to only a 50% chance of getting what you need. And just about the time you turn 65, the very time you would have expected to begin to be eligible for Medicare after having paid payroll taxes for years, you will only have a 25% chance (or less) of getting a needed intervention.
This is worthy of being repeated. You have paid your payroll taxes for 40 years or so in the expectation that you will receive full Medicare benefits for your health care needs. Then you discover that under Emanuel’s “Reaper Curve,” you will only have a 25% chance or less of receiving medical intervention when you reach a health crisis...”
