Did President Obama hint at health-care rationing in last night’s State of the Union address?
In his speech, Obama listed health-care reform as a key in reducing
long-term government debt, specifically referring to the “rising cost of
health care for an aging population.”
“And those of us who care deeply about programs like Medicare must embrace the need for modest reforms,” he said.
Obama said he will work to “reduce taxpayer subsidies to prescription drug companies and ask more from the wealthiest seniors.”
“We’ll bring down costs by changing the way our government pays for
Medicare, because our medical bills shouldn’t be based on the number of
tests ordered or days spent in the hospital,” he said. “They should be
based on the quality of care that our seniors receive.”
Obama’s comments about quality of care deserve careful consideration
in light of largely overlooked sections of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act, commonly called Obamacare.
Those sections, reviewed in full by WND, may lay the foundations for health-care rationing and even so-called death panels.
There is also concern for preferential treatment based on race, ethnicity and so-called life preferences.
Obamacare called for the establishment of a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute.
