You may remember that during the long debate prior to the enactment of ObamaCare socialized medicine, Democrat leaders sharply rejected claims that ObamaCare would lead to government rationing of medical care.
Howard Dean, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said last August on ABC, “Let me just say, A, there’s no rationing in any of these bills, so we don’t have to worry about that.”
And President Barack Obama himself said at a rally in Pennsylvania that the real culprits for the rationing of care were health insurance companies: “The insurance companies continue to ration health care. … That’s the status quo in America, and it’s a status quo that’s unsustainable.”
But now that ObamaCare has passed, at least some of its supporters have become quite candid in admitting that government rationing is on the way.
Dr. Donald Berwick, a Harvard professor, has been nominated by President Obama to run Medicare and Medicaid. But Dr. Berwick has not been shy at all about saying that rationing will be the order of the day under ObamaCare.
