What health care rationing looks like (Example 774)

What health care rationing looks like (Example 774)

According to the above linked piece, the fact that rationing will definitely accompany Obamacare will be the best way to defeat national health care, but another good idea would be to make any public option mandatory for the president and all elected officials, their staffs, and their families, period. On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of an amendment proposed by Republican Tom Coburn (R-OK), who happens to be a medical doctor. The Coburn amendment would require all members of the U.S. Senate, and their staffs, to enroll in any new government-run health plan. Guess how that vote broke down by political party. Senator Dodd voted for the amendment, but of course he knows he'll be able to quash it before the Bill moves too far.
