The Left Flirts with Rationing Health Care

As the Left keeps up its relentless march towards socialized medicine, one fact frequently gets lost in the debate: Government-run health care often harms the most vulnerable populations that progressives claim they want to help. Legislation recently proposed by several congressmen, led by Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), highlights this problem, and if adopted by Congress, would help to solve it.
 
During the Obamacare debate a dozen years ago, Democrats claimed that they did not want to have government ration health care resources based on cost. One of the few positive provisions of Obamacare prohibited the new research institute funded by that law from utilizing a quality-adjusted life year (QALY) mechanism when comparing the effectiveness of various drugs and medical treatments.
