I hate to say I told you so, but...
Yes a little known provision in the new "stimulus" plan would allow a new governmental agency to choose who should get, how much and what kind of treatment based on a still yet to be determined governmental review process.
Who uses the system the most? Well sick people especially elderly sick people.
Doctors and hospitals who violate the directives would face penalties. In short, rationing would be determined, encouraged and enforced. Hope all you baby boomers are paying attention because you are the next elderly generation who might see this new plan hanging over your hospital bed.
But it's not just the elderly, what about the severely disabled or chronically ill of any age? They too would have their treatments reviewed and determinations made as to what should and should not be allowed.
There is a silver lining though. Those with lots of money (remember the democrats are now the party of the rich according to the US Census) can buy "private" health care anytime they may need it. It may be on a Caribbean Island some place but it would be available.
Just remember all of you that wanted change ... you got it.

By the way before you question my integrity "Lord Farquarh" let me remind you that you are the one hiding behind a "fake name".
I have to guess that with a name "LORD" you must be a follower on the annointed "Savior" in the White House. At least have the stones to put your real name with your opinions before you even "THINK" of questioning my integrity.
I can quote the chapter and section of that PORK BARRELL legislation to support my claim. How about you?
I know what I'm talking about ... and I'm Right.
Still waiting for your response. I thought you were going to let every one know within 24 hours!
But I guess that like so many of poor saps that voted for this guy you can't admit that you "GOT GOT"!
Oh, in case you forgot I'm
Tim Philbin and I'm on WSYB each weekday from 9 till noon and the studio line is 773-9792.
Integrity? You have none! You write this crap for money! You don't care if it's true or not or who you might damage with it!
Why should be people listen to your rants if you’re just going to parrot bull from someone else? Let's talk about this crap you stole from Limbaugh and Drudge, who also didn't check their sources!
The source? Betsy McCaughey former Lieutenant Governor of the State of New York from 1995 to 1998, and now an adjunct fellow with the Hudson Institute.
The Hudson Institute is supported by donations from companies and individuals. Corporate contributors include Eli Lilly and Company, Monsanto, DuPont, Dow-Elanco, Sandoz, Ciba-Geigy, ConAgra, Cargill, and Procter & Gamble. This should tell you whose interests she is looking out for. As any health reform will surely reduce the profits of these companies.
On February 9, 2009, McCaughey wrote an opinion piece for Bloomberg.com in which she posited that the 2009 stimulus bill was "dangerous to our health". She claimed that the stimulus bill would cause a newly created office to "monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective" which was, in essence, "enforcing uniformity." The portions of the text to which she cites, however, do nothing of the sort. Sec. 3001(b) of the bill, which sets forth the "purposes" of the substantive provisions, does not in and of itself do anything but set forth the reason for the substantive provisions. The bill gives the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology no duties to review actual treatments but only to establish standards for a technology infrastructure that would allow doctors to better guide their patients' treatments and to ensure that doctors are given the appropriate tools to establish a proper course of treatment.
The “new” governmental agency as you call it is headed by Dr. David Braylor who was hired by President George W. Bush in 2004.
I suggest you actually read page 442 of the package since you believe you can "quote it"
The change we want is for you to talk facts or shut up!
Oh by the way, Lord Farquarh IS my name.
By the way "LORD" my source was Tom Daschle's book. Which had bits and pieces incorporated into that PORK PIE piece of legislation.
You do remember remember him?
He was one of those guys on the left that was making money off of this while faking concen for the rest of us. And to think all the while not even paying, (as socialists like you often are prone to say)"his fair share" on the income.
Like I said you GOT GOT by these clowns.
Yeah that's why many of the members of the liberal Obama team had to take a hike for not paying their fair share. "All animals are equal but some are more equal then others"
Admit it - you and the rest of the malcontent socialists GOT GOT! Now that's pathetic !
Don't go off subject! Admit it, YOU WERE WRONG! Your original post is WRONG. Everything else you say is merely a canard.
And since you're so slow on the uptake I'll repeat it for you, I'm neither socialist nor malcontent. You assume that because I point out the errors of your post that I must be an Obama supporter. What I am is an honest American. You should try it.
My, my, what a little man.
