Health care rationing reason to fear plans

I have been following the information regarding Obama's health care reform plans and I am very concerned. I am convinced that we will have health care rationing where individuals over 65 will be carefully scrutinized as to whether or not it is worthwhile to spend health care dollars on them.
We live in a society where human life has little meaning. The abortion situation makes this very plain.
If rationing of health care for the elderly takes place, several problems will be solved. Medicare costs will stabilize or go down. Social Security will remain solvent. And society will not be troubled by old people.
