1 Out of 2 Medicaid $ is Spent on Dementia Care

Thank you to a Senator who I heard with that statistic.

50% of Medicaid $ are spent on taking care of Dementia patients.  When the GOP starts making block grants to states so they can allocate $ in the best way, will they also allow the states to legalize Euthanasia and establish Death Panels to decide which dementia patients are euthanized or allowed to be supported by the State's Medicaid funds?

I can make a case for that given that at the other 50% of $ are generally going to working people who pay some taxes and are executing necessary jobs in the economy.  Or they are children who have the potential to be whatever.

RyanCare supports Death Panels is the only conclusion I can reach.  Does Sarah Palin also now support Death Panels given that they will be run by Republicans as opposed to Democrats?

Anyway, David Brooks take on it today is worthwhile to read.
