Exactly! There will be a beaurocrat that will decide what prodedures or medications you may have based on your age, general health, health history and family history. Just when you need the help of medical science the most, the beaurocracy will deny it to you, because it is too expensive for your age and life expectancy. Some will be told "NO" and to just suffer and die, while others (those of the desirable demographic) will be approved. Your doctor esentially will be asking permission from the beaurocracy to treat. His prescriptions will be only recommendations that can be filled only if approved by the beaurocacy. Actually, we aren't that far from it now with insurance companies and HMO's. The big change will be that approvals will be government conrtolled. When that happens, it can't help but have polictics involved - the desirable demographics issue. This is exactly what is coming, and apparently sooner than we think. The TV residents, because of their general age bracket, will be very affected by the rationed health care policies as this unfolds.
