Kinsley - Rationing Health Care Is Our Choice


http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/06/25/AR2009062503360.html

Here is a handy-dandy way to determine whether the failure to order some exam or treatment constitutes rationing: If the patient were the president, would he get it? If he'd get it and you wouldn't, it's rationing.

Here's my test to see if Congress and the President are being honest about their health care reforms plans:  Are congressmen and their families required to use the least expensive (to the government) health plans?  If they get a special option, or get all of it paid for by the taxpayers, then the rest of us are getting taken.
