re: #289 Mikey_Dallas

So are you saying there won’t have to be any determination of who gets what? Everybody gets everything? They’re not going to tell a 90 year old man he doesn’t get a bypass? Is that what you’re trying to say?

If it’s not, if you admit the obvious that they are going to set standards, then go ahead, you have a different idea of how they’re going to do it? Lay it out.

If it’s not this way, it will be some other way that uses SOME method to determine who gets what. It will deny costly care to seriously ill elderly people, denying them any small chance of being in the group that gets several more years of life.

That’s the freakin point, Walter.

I’m just asking you to point out in the proposal the material that you are reading that brings you to these assumptions you are making. I’m trying to get on the same page with you.

And where did you get the quote “finding and using the most cost effective?” A second time I ask.
