Obama Advisor Ezekiel Emanuel: I Don't Favor Rationing (Most) Health Care Now

Obama Advisor Ezekiel Emanuel: I Don't Favor Rationing (Most) Health Care Now

We really need to learn to hear what is being said, and to act on it, not slip into denial.

Quote:
On a more practical level, a spokesman for pro-life Sen. Tom Coburn, an Oklahoma Republican, says rationing is in the health care bills in Congress and that ruling Democrats defeated an attempt to remove it.

"On three different occasions during the [Senate Health, Education and Labor and Pensions] committee markup, Dr. Coburn and other Republicans attempted to insert language prohibiting rationing," Coburn spokesman John Hart said. "All three amendments were voted down, which suggests that Democrats do, in fact, want to preserve the ability to ration care."
