It Begins...

In last night's press conference, BO repeated his oft quoted line concerning the much needed modernization of the "American Health Care industry." Hm. Sounds nice. Technology is good. Progress is the most. But, have you been wondering what this means in practice? Well, apparently there is a provision in the so-called "stimulus" bill that will spend $1.1 billion on research comparing medical treatments for the purpose "limiting treatments that don't work well." That's right. And guess who determines what "works" and what does not...? Here comes rationing. Enjoy.
