    Insurance clerks don't make decisions as to who gets a life saving treatment or not. You are misinformed.

    He must have been speaking of a government clerk in a government run program.

    It is a proven fact that government run programs will deny life saving treatment if the "return on investment" is not high enough.

    It's all a part of the rationing Obam said we would have.

    Google "quality adjusted life year" and you will get your answer.

    There's plenty more where this came from.

    Interested?

    I would guess denial will be the answer.

    Here's something to get your denial process started:

    Interesting!

    Has any US court upheld the use of these calculations if used to deny treatment?

    I guess that I don't understand this question.

    "Quality adjusted life year" is the formulaic method for rationing health care being proposed by Obama. Why would you think that U.S. courts would have ruled on this before it has been implemented?

    Or are you looking for court decisions from other countries? In which case, how would that be relevant?

    I am also surprised that you are not aware that rationing of health care in this way - particularly denying health care services to the elderly - is the cornerstone of Obama's advertised savings.

    Do you not recall the things that Obama and his cadre have been saying - like the elderly will just have to learn to live with their problems - the elderly should just step back from health care services and let younger people have them - maybe Grandma just doesn't need that pacemaker - etc.?

    The irrational statements that the Obama-mites make on this Forum in regard to life and death, sometimes in regard to their own parents, would be sickening coming from a pagan but from a professing Christian?

    This is what happens when we devalue the human lives God created in His image, we assign precieved value, and then start eliminating those of lesser value, babies, seniors, the sick. With absoutely no approval from God, violating His word His principles, standing in approval with satan.
