The drumbeats for "Health Care Reform" go on and on.
One thing you hear is slogans like: "Nobody should go without health care because they can't afford it." Preferably accompanied by a photogenic victim.
But as soon as you have the government pay for everything, you will hear that other slogan: "Hard choices about health care need to be made since government funds are limited."
Either way, someone's not getting treated. But who that person is, and how that person gets picked, changes.
I believe the new government rationing committee will have a lot of rules...
Photogenic people shall be treated
With publicity and speed,
And politicians' cousins shall be greeted
As people with urgent needs.
