Health care rationing does not favor the young, strong, and healthy just because they're in a better position to live longer and "accomplish" more. Let's reconsider that from the government's business standpoint. <br> <br> Their care costs will be less expensive-- and they will likely produce more tax revenues over time for the government to collect. <br> <br> Old folks and invalids are likely retired or otherwise unable to work and pay taxes, and represent cost drains to the system which must be limited in some way. Denial of necessary procedures which would have been performed under a private system is how you eliminate these costs. So much for "universal healthcare" meaning everyone would receive necessary care and treatment.<br> <br> I dread the thought of transitioning to "universal healthcare" over the next decades while our government grapples with working out all the kinks. Look at social security for a preview.
