There is no question that managed care is managed cost, and the idea is that you can save a lot of money and make health care costs less if you ration it.
The chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80% of the total health care bill out there. There is going to have to be a very difficult democratic conversation that takes place. The decision is not whether or not we will ration care. The decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open.
Israel gives the West Bank water twice a week! One way of promoting good would be not to ration water.
The reality is that we are all economists. We all deal with scarcity as we make choices and calculate how to ration various items and resources that we consume, produce and utilize.
The only freedom supposed to be left to the masses is that of grazing on the ration of simulacra the system distributes to each individual.
