Wow! Blown away and yet not surprised at all. Your research and findings make sense that may help open eyes.

Inside the jikky twitter feed is a comment with a link to bioethics article below. It suggests that under the affordable care act we will need to ration care to the elderly.

And a light just went off for me….was this ‘inevitable’ rationing of care (and subsequent death of costly elderly and sick) the entire reason for the Affordable Care Act to begin with.

‘Our aging population combined with the changes that will come with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and the creation of Affordable Care Organizations also can be expected to bring significant changes in bioethics thinking. The pressure from increased demand for services coupled with the social changes that make access to health care more broadly available may create a more hospitable environment for serious discussion of rationing care. ‘
