Biden resurrects the failed Obamacare, 2021
Remember that the Obama administrators said that Obamacare was designed to fail in order to establish a government run health care system. Right now, local governments are totally unprepared to distribute millions of doses of the Covid 19 {China} virus vaccine throughout the USA. Government politicians and bureaucrats are inept at running anything. They just make rules.

New Obamacare rules for those age 70 and older
A group of non-doctors from the Federal Department of Health arrived last week at Emory Hospital in Atlanta for a two day session. They are thought to be traveling around the country to make sure every hospital fully understands the new rules (which started in December) concerning treating all patients over 70 years of age.
This group informed the staff and doctors that they will not be allowed to operate on anyone over 70 (no matter how urgent or life threatening the situation is), without first having approval by a board of eight doctors. Failure to comply will result in a financial penalty to the hospital; the doctor might also lose his/her license to practice medicine.
This board is to be established at every hospital in the country. The board members will work only eight hours a day. Once their 8 hour shift is up, the doctor may have to wait 16 hours to get in touch with the board and another hour or two for a decision and permission to operate.
This report not documented, yet. Probably just a slight transparency issue. Oh. But wait. Maybe these are the iPAB Death Panels that Democrats said did not exist.
Comment from TheRightJack ... Big Dem Gov Rules. This is not a surprise to me at all. It should not be a surprise to you. Oh Look ... the age can drop to 65 and the 60 and so on. If you are not looking out for yourself, your parents and your grandparents with exercise and other good health habits, you are toast.
What happens on Friday at 6:30pm? I wonder if Democrats get an age wavier. Maybe just the members of Congress? What about Big Dem Crony donors? Old Union buddies? The old Big Time Dying Media? What about the poor old poor?
