Late November 2011, I was appalled when I heard the words of a neurosurgeon that called in to the Mark Levin show.  The neurosurgeon upset said he was informed about certain new rules involving Obama Care.  The rules apply to any medical care treatment provided by the government including VA, Tricare, Medicare, and Medicaid.   The surgeon was told if a patient is over 70 do not use any aggressive treatment in order to save the patient in addition to the imposed bureaucracy - call before you treat.  If you are 70 years old and have a cerebral hemorrhage, expect “comfort care” rather than real medical care.  The surgeon went on to say, “You are no longer a person; you are a unit”.  After Obama cut 500 million out of Medicare funds in order to support Medicaid, nothing surprises me.   I agree there isn’t any more efficient medical care savings than allowing seniors (units) to die.  Collectivism doesn’t care about the individual; so be it.  I can always wish for deadly bacteria to be a surprise for the elite while they devour their caviar at the same time they encourage the death of seniors.
