Rationing health care

Here's an excellent column from Clarence Page:

"Rationing" is one of the scariest words in the health-care debate.

It conjures up apocalyptic nightmare images from "Soylent Green," the sci-fi thriller about a future in which the old and weak are quietly lured into early extinction for the sake of future generations.

What the scaremongers don't like to talk about is how much our private insurers ration now -- mostly for the sake of their own profits.
