Gail Collins comes up with a stunning, refreshing rebuke of the idiocy of Arizona's new approach to cut $4.5 million dollars from its state Medicaid expenditures by denying certain types of organ transplants. The bottom line: government bureaucrats allowed the plug to be pulled on a 32 year-old father. No, seriously. This is from a state run by people who said "Obamacare" was going to do just that; when in fact health care reform was put in place, in part, to avoid such devastating consequences of cost cutting in the setting of poor information.
Update (12-17-2010): still sounds like death panels to me. Wasn't this kind of thing supposed to happen under the watch of "liberals"? Never a state like AZ...
