Examples of what sort of “cost containment” actions will be taken under Obama Care can be seen in Oregon.
Not long after voters legalized assisted suicide, the state added it as an acceptable treatment option for cancer. Patients deemed to be too expensive to treat are sent letters saying that chemo is denied but assisted suicide will be paid for. Remember the case of Barbara Wagner?
Of course, the proponents of “right to die” laws said this would never happen. And then it did. And then Washington legalized assisted suicide.
I predict that a federal “right to die” law will be snuck in as an amendment and then followed by denial of any treatment for illnesses that have a “low cure rate.” Killing one’s self will become the new patriotism.

Add to all of this the push for smaller, lighter and less safe cars and you have yet another element in the plan to reduce health care expenses. Crash fatalities cost less to treat than crash survivors. The nuts is congress are even trying to ram through mandates for 70MPG. Of course, this will kill even more people since families will have to take two cars and a trailer to go anywhere. Or 4 scooters.
They must understand that if they mandate cars too small for a family that families are forced to buy trucks. That’s what happened when CAFÉ killed the station wagon. And taking two cars that get 50MPG each is the same net MPG of taking one SUV that get 25.
Taking two Dumb cars that get 40MPH to fit my kids and a small amount of stuff is the same as taking my 1999 Cherokee with 175K miles that still gets 20MPG even loaded with 500 pounds of stuff plus the wife and two kids.
So they must therefore want to increase fatalities to decrease health care costs. It is the only logical explanation.

Idiots; life is not a “make work” proposition.
