"Beginning in 2015, payment would be reduced by five percent if an aggregation of the physician's resource use is at or above the 90th percentile of national utilization." Translated into plain English, it means that in any year in which a particular doctor's average per-patient Medicare costs are in the top 10 percent in the nation, the feds will cut the doctor's payments by 5 percent.
The clause is plainly devised to reduce care for seniors (whose medical care is responsible for 80% of medical costs) and withholding care from people is designed to kill them. Don't think that Liberals like Baucus (who looks so kind and urbane) would NOT do something as monstrous as that. They do think like that.
The Newsweek article "The case for killing Granny" is just one of the intellectual efforts of Liberals to sell us the concept of killing off the old.

The sad fact is that rationing medical care will reduce it for everyone, not just for the old. It is part of the Liberal mindset that we Americans have too much and we need to do with less.
