Obama’s health advisors support killing off the elderly to bring down cost
THE health bills coming out of Congress would put the decisions about your care in the hands of presidential appointees. They’d decide what plans cover,how much leeway your doctor will have and what seniors get under Medicare.
Yet at least two of President Obama’s top health advisers should never be trusted with that power.
Start with Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel,the brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. He has already been appointed to two key positions:health-policy adviser at the Office of Management and Budget and a member of Federal Council on Comparative Effectiveness Research.
Emanuel bluntly admits that the cuts will not be pain-free. "Vague promises of savings from cutting waste,enhancing prevention and wellness,installing electronic medical records and improving quality are merely ‘lipstick’cost control,more for show and public relations than for true change,"he wrote last year (Health Affairs Feb. 27,2008).
