At least the Obama administration is consistent on treatment of the gravely ill - just let them die.
The Attack On Doctors' Hippocratic Oath
Patients count on their doctor to do whatever is possible to treat their illness. That is the promise doctors make by taking the Hippocratic Oath.
But President Obama's advisers are looking to save money by interfering with that oath and controlling your doctor's decisions.
Ezekiel Emanuel sees the Hippocratic Oath as one factor driving "overuse" of medical care. He is a policy adviser in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and a brother of Rahm Emanuel, the president's chief of staff.
