Drug Rationing for Seniors Begins

It happens in EVERY country that enforces government "healthcare".
Drug Rationing for Seniors Begins | The American Spectator:
"Buried beneath the avalanche of recent news reports about the latest Obamacare-mandated funding cuts to the Medicare Advantage (MA) program is a related but far more disturbing story — the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has taken a major step toward rationing medications to the elderly.
Since passage of the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003, seniors enrolled in the Medicare prescription drug program have been guaranteed access to “all or substantially all” of the drugs in several classes of pharmaceuticals.
President Obama’s health care bureaucrats, however, have proposed removing three of these classes from the “protected” list."
