A health care report out today from President Barack Obama's Council of Economic Advisers says Medicare costs could be lowered by about one-third by leveling the differences in costs per patient between the states and between the U.S. and other nations.
Looks like they are talking about little more than rationing care to me. In fact, I read the whole report looking for anything substantial and didn't find it. Try it yourself. The closest thing to a policy suggestion is the ridiculous proposal to require insurance companies to accept all applicants with the same coverages and premiums. Some may remember Kentucky trying that in 1994.

Yes, it is coming to that. Once Gramps becomes a drain on the treasury, whether state or national, it will be over. Emotions will not be allowed to enter into the equation, cost will be the determining factor in whether Gramps stays with us or goes on to Treasury Heaven.
The National Treasury will prevail over individual choice.
