The reality is that health care is already somewhat rationed by health care providers and insurers. Fortunately, the patient still has rights, but is encouraged to forfeit them through phony end-of-life documents, and doctors who play God. My 95 year old aunt has had breast cancer for 5 years, and was advised to forego treatment. Looks like she may see 100, since it appears to be the slow growing kind. She is a treasure! We just don’t need the government to decide to ration. Government should always protect patients’ rights.
I recently had a proceedure and in tests learned I was very low on a certain Vitamin....Insurance companys state you have to first try supplements, but then refuse re-testing for 2 yrs. before they will pay for injections..
