'Government Health Plans ALWAYS Ration Care'

No "ifs", "ands" or "buts".

ALWAYS

Noteworthy:
"In short, other countries where government plays a large role in health care aren't shy about rationing. Mr. Obama's budget director has acknowledged that rationing reduces costs. Peter Orszag told Congress last year when he headed the Congressional Budget Office that spending can be 'moderated' if 'diffusion of existing costly services were slowed.'
And the Obamacare rationing will not be reserved exclusively for seniors:
" 'Look, the first thing for all of us to understand that is we actually have some -- some choices to make about how we want to deal with our own end-of-life care,' Mr. Obama replied. After discussing ways 'we as a culture and as a society [can start] to make better decisions within our own families and for ourselves,' he continued that in general 'at least we can let doctors know and your mom know that, you know what? Maybe this isn't going to help. Maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller.' "
In other words, an Obamanation bureaucrat gets to play God when it comes to Obamacare.

But Dems/Lefties/"Progressives" want to make sure that illegal aliens, union members, and other specific favorite victim groups get favorable terms under the plan, don't they? And Congresspeople current and former as well as other favored politicos will be exempt from the rules the peons will be required to abide, won't they?

This whole premise is ripe for abuse, in addition to being flat out frightening in its implications.
