Nov. 21, 2011 -- The nomination of Henry J. Aaron to head the Social Security Board makes yet another Obama
nominee who has spoken publicly in favor of healthcare rationing.
Henry J. Aaron
According to the Weekly Standard, Aaron is on record as supporting rationing, having
stated during his time with the Brookings Institution: “Americans will have to do what the
British have done: ration some types of costly medical care – which means turning away
patients from proven treatments.”
The Standard points out that Aaron is a strong proponent of the Independent Payment
Advisory Board – the 15-member panel that has been empowered by the ObamaCare
law to make health care rationing decisions with no further requirement for congressional
review.
The leftist proponents of socialized medicine that rammed ObamaCare down America’s
throat bristle when such boards are called “Death Panels,” but if Henry Aaron becomes

The leftist proponents of socialized medicine that rammed ObamaCare down America’s

the head of the Social Security Board, we’ll be one step closer to just such a situation.
Aaron is the second high-level Obama nominee or appointee to be on record favoring health care rationing. Last year,
Obama sidestepped Congress with a recess appointment of Medicare head Dr. Donald Berwick – an outspoken
proponent of rationing.
Clearly, the Obama team is moving quickly to implement the ObamaCare rationing model, a system that will cripple the
world’s best national medical system and leave millions of Americans facing rationed care.
