Cities and States are Preparing to Ration Care

In case a pandemic makes it necessary, that is. A lot of the planning is being done without public awareness. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is funding many of the planning exercises to develop guidelines on how to ration care. For example:

Utah’s pandemic triage guidelines set out categories of patients — including those with end stage heart failure, incurable cancer and the elderly — who would be denied hospital and intensive care unit admittance during a severe pandemic. The Utah plan also anticipates removing certain patients from life support regardless of their or their families’ permission, to make way for others who are expected to have a better chance of survival.

    Pretty soon they will realize that they do not need a pandemic to do all this. They can make these decisions part of their routine.
