I hear comments concerning how ObamaCare will ration health care. I don't see rationing as a problem. We cannot afford to do everything we technically can do. You have a son who is 45 and needs $400,000 for treatment and you have a 85 year-old grandmother who needs $200,000 to be cured and you have $300,000. What would you do? If you can afford it you can do anything you want otherwise you are sharing a finite amount of money.
Technology wise electronic record keeping will make everything more efficient.
We have to identify and remove from the system all treatments that are not worth what they cost. That will be step 1. Doctors are going to hate it. But insurance companies will do this with or without Obamacare.
