Cynthia Stead Who will suffer most when they ration care, she wrote on Facebook in 2009. The sick, the elderly, and the disabled of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down’s Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s “death panels” so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgement of their level of productivity in society whether they are worthy of health care.”
I am not the only one to notice this. The New York Times had similar concerns, saying that while Obamacare did not led to rationing, the mismanagement of the coronavirus will. We have a concrete example of such mismanagement as our state government attempts to ration scarce medication in a pandemic.
