Under the new health care law, the elderly will be denied care when they have passed the age limit for treatment. Fanellis video suggests Obamacare will cut off treatment for elderly. Set in a doctors office with somber orchestral music as the backdrop, a sympathetic doctor rolls up his chair to talk to an elderly white-haired man in a patients gown. Im sorry. Ive tried everything, the doctor says. But doctor, Ive already waited over six months, says the patient. Its not that its., the kind doctor hesitates, placing his hand on the patients shoulder. They denied you because you passed the age limit for the treatment. We asked if he could point us to any documentation -- such as a section of the bill, a position paper from an organization -- to support his conclusion about age limits. I cant go to a page in the bill but what I can tell you is the country is over 13 trillion in debt.. The medical program increases the number of recipients substantially. You cant add more services when you dont have enough money to pay the government bills currently, and thats what weve done. Fanelli said he has his own family experience to draw his conclusions. My aunt lives in France and had been denied for a procedure, to get a pacemaker, he said. ![]() Ultimately his French aunt was able to get the procedure, according to Fanelli. Fanelli said the video is a metaphor for what is used in England where they use age to determine what services people are going to get. Our friends at FactCheck.org researched a question about age limits and health care in England in July 2009. The article quoted a nonprofit in England, Age Concern and Help the Aged, that ageism does occur -- for example a doctor refusing to refer an elderly patient to a consultant. But the nonprofit also stated that a national organization was created to improve health care for the elderly and one of its standards was rooting out age discrimination. Steve Ullmann, professor and director of Programs in Health Sector Management and Policy at the University of Miami, said there is some limitation in provisions of care of people based on age in England, for certain treatments though you can buy them out of pocket outside of the National Health Service. We asked specifically if Fanelli had found an age-limit in the health care bill. I have tried to look at that bill and its a masterful mess, said the 54-year-old retired airline captain and Navy reserves retiree. When we asked about whether Fanelli had read about an age cutoff in news articles, he replied: I have been at lectures. We contacted him again the next day to clarify if he had read any news articles about an age limit and he said: There are various articles. I cant quote verse, page and date.. ![]() Among Fanellis claimed sources is his wifes dermatologist, Dr. John Meisenheimer of Orlando.
