Right. Which is why it's far better to put the power of health care in the hands of people you elect*, cause then you can boot them on their asses if they pull shit like this.

*That is, if it even went as far as anyone but a doctor deciding what's medically necessary, which except in the case of thin lines between elective and necessary and orphan drugs, it doesn't. The gov't has better things to do (well, maybe) than tell doctors how to do their jobs.
