A lot of the rhetoric about the evils of “rationing” were misdirected during the run-up to the vote on the so-called health care bill. Of course there will be “rationing”. There was “rationing” before, and, no matter whether the bill had passed, or not, there would have been rationing in the future. “Rationing” is what economies do.
The concern should have always been WHO will do the rationing. Since the bill passed, then answer is clearly that the government will do the rationing.
To be surprised that a person who heads up one of these agencies actually believes in rationing is oddly also misdirected and seems to miss the point.
Wow. Such a great calming comment to sooth the worry of the masses.
Did not work on me.
rationing “with our eyes open”
means giving preference to certain groups
and denying other groups
based on some one’s “judgement” about who is “deserving” of the care.
You know where this is leading.
