Obama Stimulus Plan Dangerous to Your Health
seniors in the U.S. will face similar rationing.

One new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective.
The goal is to reduce costs and “guide” your doctor’s decisions (442, 446).
According to Daschle, doctors have to give up autonomy and “learn to operate less like solo practitioners.”
he goal, Daschle’s book explained, is to slow the development and use of new medications and technologies because they are driving up costs.
That means you will die more quickly due to lack of the latest medical advances.
Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them.
The stimulus bill would change that and apply a cost- effectiveness standard set by the Federal Council (464).
It is cheaper to the let the patient die, than to treat them.
In 2006, a U.K. health board decreed that elderly patients with macular degeneration had to wait until they went blind in one eye before they could get a costly new drug to save the other eye. It took almost three years of public protests before the board reversed its decision.
