It isn't an admission -- you're never going to get that from Obama or his people.

Indeed. It really bugs me when someone shouts "gotcha" and there's not gotcha. It's all rant and no substance. There's plenty to say about this subject that is substantive, which you did.

Call it a committee or a Death Panel, but there are going to be government bureaucrats making rationing decisions and they will do so with the ice-cold efficiency government is known for.

I don't doubt that, but I don't see them ever making decisions on an individual level, do you? They will ration by excluding coverage of this or that or setting conditions for coverage or compensating at such a low level that the treatment becomes less available or is wait-listed but they will never pick and choose individual winners and losers as many charge.
