The administration’s plan to control health-care costs:
President Obama suggested at a town hall event Wednesday night that one way to shave medical costs is to stop expensive and ultimately futile procedures performed on people who are about to die and don’t stand to gain from the extra care.
But don’t worry. A “panel of experts” (Barney Frank and two executive vice-presidents from ACORN) will make that determination.
So relax: You’ll be able to “opt out” of government health care, in a very permanent sense . . .
