How will diagnosed special needs children be treated under Obamas health care plan?

IE those that their condition could keep them from being "productive members of society".

Update:

Mobsters in the Attic - I too have an autistic son.

Update 2:

Drixnot - why do anything different from now if there will be no difference? Sounds like a waste of more money to me then!

    Read pg 354 of the bill:

    Basically, the Gov would decide if and to what extent services are provided.

    Not You and your doctor.

    I have an autistic son, it's the first thing I looked for

    Listen close....Nothing is going to change concerning health care except in drastic circumstances....such as.... a child who has no chance whatsoever of survival won't be placed on life support....Unless you've had to remove someone from a life support system you haven't a clue how heart breaking that decision is and the what if's that dominate your mind....the propaganda being tossed around is just that PROPAGANDA....I've seen first hand the misery caused by certain measures hospitals perform that only delay the inevitable.

    Not sure, but do you suppose Obama will force them to have abortions if the baby is going to be a "special needs" baby?

    Their parents will have more options for health care insurance which will cover their special needs children.

    No different from now.

    add-

    Oh I see, as long as your kid is taken care of that's all that matters. My kid can just curl up and die without coverage is that it?

    They will be treated like all the rest, rationed health care.

  • Euthanasia: patient's choice between gas chamber and lethal injection.

  • Hitler got rid of cripples and old people. That cut costs. 0bama seems to have learned from this.

    They'll suffer.
