Health Care "rationing"

Our 'Kindness Deficit' of Care

We ration health care, harshly, by income and price. People with money get topnotch treatment. Those without scramble for what they can get.

I saw this article and immediately wanted to throw up. Not that I can say I'm surprised, but the blatant reversal of the meaning of the concept of rationing is just apalling. Apparently it's now considered "rationing" to provide services only to those who can pay for them. The free market now imposes "rations", not the government. How twisted do you have to be?

Yes, I also find her virtually unreadable so I just skimmed the article.

One interesting fact that was left out: most of the 45 million uninsured are either eligible for medicare, medicaid, etc and choose not to sign up, or can afford private insurance and choose not to buy it.
