Health Care reform can result in people getting needed screening and preventive care before they arrive on the Medicare rolls as very sick people. I was fortunate enough to have good insurance to take care of my diabetes for 10 years before I was enrolled in Medicare. As a result, my diabetes stayed under control and I was able to continue working and paying taxes.

The One said it himself, "Rather then the treatment perhaps they just need a pain pill." His feelings on rationing care doesn't get much clearer then that.

Oh bummer! Before treatment it must be shown that the patient will be of a benefit to society and that his costs of treatment will be worth it. Otherwise the treatment will be use on another worth while person and the less worthy person will be mercifully put out of his misery. Isn't that what is presently being done in some European countries. Sounds more than fair to me. We'll stop capital punishment for the criminals and start helping the elderly on their trip home to eternity. Will definitely help solve the social security problem too. Killing two birds with one stone. comrade chartseer
