Good. Maybe the play times will get shorter on Florida golf courses.

To make Obamacare a secure affluent employment environment for federal union workers, cuts have to be made whether it is the Death Panels telling grandma to go home and die or paying doctors 50 cents on the dollar to treat the no longer exploitable elderly causing fewer doctors to treat them and thus more dead oldies...

The Leftists have learned from Social Security—old people must die sooner to keep the system solvent—the Feds have no power to kill off grannies on social security but with Obamacare they do.

These are the things that children used to do for their parents in the good old days. Parents took care of their children when they were young. Children took care of their parents when they were old.

Now they go live in a retirement village and expect the government to take care of their health needs.

That will not last much longer.

Going to Sun City is like entering the Twilight Zone. Very few people are younger then 70.

The life cost/value model will come into play. If the value of your life is less than the cost, Obamacare will mandate palliative care that will quickly end the cost.

No need for Geriatricians, just take the pill.

Why not just implant a light in the palm of our hands that starts blinking when we turn 70. Then, those with blinking lights will know their care is done and to "follow the light" ---- wait....wasn't this a movie way back when? Why yes, yes it was. Logan's Run. The only difference was the light started blinking when they were 30 or something.

Oh geez, Obama's plan was born from a movie!

Of course not. Who wants to be underpaid by Medicare, even after jumping through their compliance hoops?
I am surprised the elderly can find anybody to take them.

This article assumes that specialties like geriatrics and neonatology will even exist in 5 years. Don’t think oncology has much of a future either. The biggest mistake the Affordable Care Act makes is that Doctors intend to stay in practice; a practice designed by the Government. Remember boys and girls, ObamaCare = Cost Savings = NO CARE

[CodeToad]

Few doctors want to be part of the Medicare/medicaid system, which pays less and less every year. They just took another massive pay cut this year and ObamaCare cuts that even further.

[Gritty]

There will be little need for more geriatric specialists. Obamacare will quickly thin the older herd and solve the problem.

Then they will proceed to take care of the feebleminded and those with other mental and physical defects, including children, and various other lebensunwertes Leben.

I think the main program is found in Section T4 in the Obamacare Law under the name of Gemeinnützige Stiftung für Heil- und Anstaltspflege and is administered by the newly formed Erbgesundheitsgerichte.

We needn't worry about government "waste". It is very efficient and shows quick results.
