Who Gets Swine Flu Vaccine Before You Do
After wrestling with which groups should get priority, the committee ultimately decided by a vote of 13 to 1 to give immunization priority to a group including pregnant women, those who care for infants under six months of age, health care and EMS workers, children and teenagers between ages 6 months and 18 years old, and anyone under the age of 64 underlying medical conditions.
Senior citizens will also have to wait behind 19 to 24 year olds, who often get sick in large numbers at college, but don't tend to get deathly ill.
The new paradigm is the elderly are are a burden on the "great society", they are collecting social security and their medical bills are higher. They contribute nothing, their usefulness to the "great society" is over.
This is the future of health care in America. Health care by committee - the future is now.
