Obamacare Rationing Choices

Under Obamacare the question how will health care be rationed (and it will be rationed)? Here's my idea how different groups of people will stand in line to get their health care (from first to last):

  • Obama's family, friends and staff
  • Biden's family, friends and staff
  • The various secretaries (like Secretary of State) etc. and their staff
  • Congress and their staff (always remember the powers that be always take care of themselves first.)
  • The Supreme Court
  • The elite Left (eg Labor Union bosses, movie stars, etc.)
  • Women and minorities*
  • Young people*
  • Middle aged people*
  • Old people*
  • The terminally ill*
  • Fetuses
  • Pets (Canada has health care for pets. PETA may lobby to move pets ahead of fetuses or even ahead of the elderly.)
What this could mean is that more elderly people will be running for Congress, so they can move up the line.

If you are a Liberal (er a Progressive) and are part of the * group, you get to move ahead the line. I don't know what political persuasion fetuses or pets are.

Also, the terms "young", "middle age" and "old" will be defined by a gov't created health board.

Enjoy your health care while it lasts!
