Abstract

The potential impact of rationing health care on the end-stage renal disease (ESRD) program is considered. The possible implications of the recommendations emanating from the study being conducted by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences are also mentioned. Particular emphasis is given to the potential consequences of rationing health care on the elderly and on certain socioeconomic groups with ESRD.
