Cantor told me, “The comparative effectiveness issue has been around for quite awhile and it makes the case again that its insertion in to this bill demonstrates that the focus has not been on job sustaining and creation. This is not a job sustaining and creating provision. Some support the notion that we ought to go down the pike of allowing CMS [Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services] now determine what kind of treatment takes place for a particular kind of patient and determine his or her doctor.

Translation..old people shouldn't get expensive health care procedures because they're going to die soon anyway. That's the liberals position. Not compassionate at all.

Thank you for the translation, because Cantor didn’t do a good job of explaining this. He needs to get this out front and center.
