Washington, D.C., July 31, 2009 (eGrumps Commentary)
eGrumps has received advance information concerning the Administration’s plan to curb health care costs under the proposed Health-Care-For-All Plan. The idea came from another plan adopted by Obama’s administration and its application to the health care cost problem is pure genius.
The Administration has proposed that whenever the treatment protocol for treating senior citizens is too expensive, the senior will be offered cash in lieu of life-extending treatment. Since there may be some reluctance for the patient to refuse treatment and receive cash, the incentive will be offered, in complete secrecy of course, to the children and grandchildren of the “soon” to die senior relative.
If the cost of treatment is, say $100,000 to extend the life of the patient for six months, what child or grandchild wouldn’t accept $50,000 in cash to relieve Granny of the pain and suffering, and lousy qualify of life, she would otherwise have enjoyed for such a brief period of time.
It’s a win/win situation. Granny is saved from the misery of the last few months of her life, the government will not have to tie up valuable and expensive resources to treat her, and the kids will have $50,000 cash (less funeral expenses) to remember what a wonderful person Granny was.
It will give new meaning to the term: “Cash for Clunkers.”
