I am 79, on Medicare and have several medical problems. We need some transparency on this issue.

I strongly support Health Care Reform, but measures that cut costs and cover most citizens will be very hard to sell, and so far Obama hasn't much stomach for fights. We must have less choice for end-of-life patients, and probably a measure of rationing for everyone ("No, you can't have that test" and to a clinic "No you can't have that machine. Only three per state allowed." I assume the various panels at work are looking at best practice in France, Germany, Norway, and others.
