The complex ObamaCare legislation is being slowly interpreted. It never was before passing Congress.
It may eventually require seniors to submit to a counseling session every few years. More often, if they become sick or have to go into a nursing home.
The proposed cost controls are similar in many ways to the British and Canadian systems. The purpose is to decide which treatments the patient should get, whether they should get them, and when they should be available.
Example: In 2006, a U.K. board said that elderly macular degeneration patients had to wait until they were blind in one eye before they could get a costly new drug to save the other eye.
Obviously, when you have a set number of doctors and medical providers and you increase the number of covered patients, you must ration the amount of care you provide. While your goal is saving money.
