Rationing Health Care (don't we already?)

Prof. Peter Singer from Princeton University had a great piece on the ethics of rationing health care in Sunday's NYT Magazine.

The question is not whether to ration health care. The question is whether the wealthy are willing to accept rationing of their health care for the general good.
