Joseph and Curious – Because of two things:
1) The current rules that govern the rationing are poorly constructed at best, corrupt at worst.
2) I know a thing or two about the healthcare industry and there is stuff coming down the pipe.
Besides for this, there is the obvious point that anyone can see – healthcare costs are rising at a pace that only property tax planning boards can keep up with. It won’t be long before the entire system we have implodes and leaves us with a huge set of new problems. When the insurance company run healthcare dries up, there will be huge supply side issues and rationing will be necessary for even simple things like setting a bone in a cast (if you’re lucky a nurse will do it, otherwise a PA or a pre-med student).
