Consider the following:

“[Medical care should not be given to those] who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens . . . An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia”

“It must be made clear to anyone suffering from an incurable disease that the useless dissipation of costly medications drawn from the public store cannot be justified. Parents who have seen the difficult life of a crippled or feeble-minded child must be convinced that, though they may have a moral obligation to care for the unfortunate creature, the broader public should not be obligated…to assume the enormous costs that long-term institutionalization might entail.”

So why does a health czar appointed by Barak Obama to manage healthcare for me, you and your family sound like a Nazi war criminal? Because they best they can do to control costs is to ration care to the point that Washington bureaucrats, with no accountability, decide who lives and who dies. You do not decide what health care is best for you. You doctor doesn’t decide what health care you need. Politicians decide. Do you really think you will get the coverage you deserve with politicians who borrow from Nazis?
