RE :”once you have bureaucrats empowered to decide what treatments you can and cannot get, they may well decide that money spent keeping some ... grandmother alive for a couple of more years could be better spent politically by enabling ten younger people to have acupuncture or visit a shrink.’

Ironically we have that with medicare/medicaid which will eventually HAVE to deny care to seniors to keep the the country from collapsing in debt. Right now we print and borrow money to pay foreigners to care for the elderly (medicare/medicaid). This cant keep up.

No, I am not saying to trust democrats with health care they plan on mandating the young and healthy share the costs with the sick and elderly.
