[QUOTE="804brown, post: 1118416, member: 29553"] Are you kidding me?? We have been rationing health care in this country for decades to poor people and others who dont have insurance or when doctors in some areas refuse to accept their insurance. Even some doctors are refusing medicare patients because they say reimbursements are "too low". "One reason is that health care rationing in the United States is almost never called by that name. The word "rationing" evokes the difficult days of World War II, when the government controlled the distribution of necessities such as food and gasoline. Wartime rationing was understood as a necessary and shared sacrifice as the country united behind the war effort. But the term has taken on more negative connotations in the decades since. Now, rationing makes Americans think of shortages, waiting lists, and long lines."
