Rationing Health Care

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/19/magazine/19healthcare-t.html?pagewanted=1&em

Interesting column about rationing health care in the US. It presupposes that we will soon have our government playing a far bigger role in rationing our health care – not a bad assumption.

The trouble is turning over these life or death decisions to government. There are plenty of tradeoffs and the calculus is just too difficult for your average politician to manage in a reaonsable way.
