Is this the kind of person who we want making these kinds of decisions ?
I thought that acording to Obama Healthcare wasn't going to be rationed. To Be Fair D. Berwick has not been chosen yet to fulfill this position. I for one hope he isn't

My uncle was killed by an NICE administrator. He was in the last stages of a battle with Parkinson's Disease. He could no longer swallow, and was blind and deaf. His doctor requested a feeding tube and i.v. hydration to make him more comfortable during his last days. An NICE administrator denied and overruled the request. My uncle was kept in a quiet corner of the hospital and starved to death. He was aware of what was happening and of what he was feeling. And yes, the NICE "rationed with their eyes open". And this will soon be visited upon the people of the United States. A government official will have the final say on who is to live and who is to die based upon a calculation table in a managerial program determining that life valid or not, based on what the cost to the government would be. My uncle was a decorated WWII veteran and had a distinguished career in British aerospace after the war. But at the end he wasn't worth the $50 in disposables and liquids to help him pass away more comfortably. I hope the American people are made fully aware of the presence of such monsters as Donald Berwick in government, ready to commit genocide:"global budget caps on total health care spending for designated populations" is not an "enlightened" approach to anything but the ability for a small group to decide upon the lives, and the quality of those lives, of millions.

The Red Knights were expected to make a bid of about £1bn in the coming weeks.
But the Sunday Times said this had been put on ice after investors baulked at the club's valuation.
Manchester United has said it is not for sale and that the Glazer family owners would "not entertain any offers".
The Glazers are said to value the club at £1.5bn.
The paper cited sources close to the Red Knights saying that the club's debts, the lack of money spent on players in recent years and rumours of manager Sir Alex Ferguson being close to retirement meant there was "a lot more downside than upside".
