The title of this post comes from the subject line of the email I received this story in from a listener. This facility is held up by the Obama administration as a poster child for needless tests, procedures, etc. Is 71 years old too old to "waste" this surgery on a patient? Would it be if it was your parent, or you? Health insurance industries have been vilified as being guilty of this coldhearted calculation during the health care reform debate. The reality is the Obama administration envisions medical rationing being aimed directly at seniors, and Sarah Palin was absolutely right.
