“The White House Council of Economic Advisers issued a report in June explaining the Obama administration’s goal of reducing projected health spending by 30% over the next two decades. That reduction would be achieved by eliminating “high cost, low-value treatments,” by “implementing a set of performance measures that all providers would adopt,” and by “directly targeting individual providers . . . (and other) high-end outliers.” ”

Has anyone seen the statistics on the percentage of the population that will become over over 65 in the next two decades? Its a big increase and those are the big health care service usage years.

Talk of “death panels” is disappointing, although maybe fighting fire with fire is the only practical approach. But any way you look at it, rationing is the Obama plan.
