No, then what is it all about?
He did what the people of Massachusetts wanted, but the American people have spoken and he will follow the will of the people.
A "terrorist plot", also "extermination of the sick", 'Fascism" (a few posts above)!
Some Right-Wingers are clearly insane.
We recommend an alternative system--the complete lives system--which prioritises younger people who have not yet live a complete life and also incorporates prognosis, save the most lives, lottery, and instrumental value principles.
In defending this approach against charges of ageism, Dr. Emanuel claims that because everyone was young once, prioritizing the young over the old is not discrimination:
Unlike allocation by sex or race, allocation by age is not invidious discrimination; every person lives through different states rather than being a single age. Even if 25-year-olds receive priority over 65-year-olds, everyone who is 65 years now was previously 25 years.
This system also treats human beings as commodities, evaluating their lives as "investments":
Consideration of the importance of complete lives also supports modifying the youngest-first principle by prioritising adolescents and young adults over infants. Adolescents have received substantial education a...

This system also treats human beings as commodities, evaluating their lives as "investments":
Consideration of the importance of complete lives also supports modifying the youngest-first principle by prioritising adolescents and young adults over infants. Adolescents have received substantial education and parental care, investments that will be wasted without a complete life. Infants by contrast, have not yet received these investments. Similarly, adolescence brings with it a developed personality capable of forming and valuing long-term plans whose fulfillment requires a complete life.
Lifesite News reports that in a Hastings Center Report, 1996, Emanuel also spoke of denying care to the disabled:
In a separate 1996 article for the Hastings Center Report, Emanuel spoke about rationing care away from those "who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens" to the non-disabled, adding "An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia."
This from the advisor to 0 on health care. But you can claim it is not happening.
FUN FACT : before Obamacare 70% of all healthcare in the US was paid for by the government - funny how the 30% is somehow going to pay for more services and more people .....LOL
The carrot is the PERCEPTION of getting 'free'(sic) healthcare as a reward for SUBMITTING the will of the proletariat; the stick is the penalty(tax) for refusing to comply with 'what is best for you'.
