Courtesy of Obamacare: Pain med rationing.
The Government’s drug rationing watchdog says “therapeutic” injections of steroids, such as cortisone, which are used to reduce inflammation, should no longer be offered to patients suffering from persistent lower back pain when the cause is not known.
Gosh, isn’t government-run health care wonderful?
Did Timmy “Tax Cheat” Geithner say this with a straight face?
“When we have recovery established, led by the private sector, then we have to bring these deficits down very dramatically,” he told ABC’s “This Week” in an interview broadcast Sunday. “And that’s going to require some very hard choices. And we’re going to have to do that in a way that does not add unfairly to the burdens that the average American already faces.”
Are you getting the impression that this administration is just, you know, making this up as it goes along?
