Exactly the point. When people believe they have the right to decide if a baby lives or dies, the same will follow through in deciding if health care is given to people old like Kenneth, or disabled...it will not stop. Just as we now see movements for triads, quad...marriages all starting with gay marriage rights...

This is the otherside of the coin of the life issues. Obama wants the power to decide who is born and then via the National Health Care he will move to make the decision on who gets medical care------if you are too old you don't qualify for certain procedures because of age parameters----so good bye. -----mj "Obama stated that a large area of healthcare waste is on the elderly. pumasunleashed.wordpress.com opinionfest.com Charles Krauthammer, a syndicated columnist with the Washington Post, has charged that while the whole point of Medicare and Medicaid is to decrease costs, the only way Obama can do it is through rationing of health care. While his insistence that the best system would be a “highly competitive, privatized health insurance,” propped up by a “government-subsidized transition to portability, breaking the absurd and ruinous link between health insurance and employment” is absurd and faulty in itself, Krauthammer is more than willing to admit that the president is moving toward a universal health system that would see survivability criteria used for a rationing system."
