Good article that hits the nail on the head. This is what will happen if Obamacare is not repealed. It's already happened with Medicare.
Our new "owner" will be government. Obamacare effectly takes the choice away from the doctor and patient and hands all decision making responsibility to government bureaucrats.
The health care bill also mandates that college-age women will be offered sterilization, a permanent method to control population. One of Obama's czars, the science czar I think, has long believed that government should have the right to sterilize the population and he wants to put sterilization agents in public drinking water. This whole health care bill, aside from transferring power from the people to government, is nothing more than a population control bill.
The Coming Medical Ethics Crisis

For centuries, my predecessors and I have been inculcated with what has come to be called the “Hippocratic Ethic.” This tradition holds that I am ethically required to use the best of my knowledge to recommend to my patient what I consider to be in my patient’s best interests—without regard to the interests of the third-party payer, or the government, or anyone else.
But gradually the medical profession has been forced to give up this approach for what I like to call a “veterinary ethic,” one that places the interests of the payer (or owner) ahead of the patient. For example, when a pet owner is told by a veterinarian that the pet has a very serious medical condition requiring extremely costly surgery or other therapy, the veterinarian presents the pet’s owner with one or more options—from attempt at cure, to palliation, to euthanasia—with the associated costs, and then follows the wishes of the owner.
