I have just read through this article and you are right it is chillingly frightening.
This bit here is an outright lie: 'Dr. Emanuel concedes that his plan appears to discriminate against older people, but he explains: "Unlike allocation by sex or race, allocation by age is not invidious discrimination. . . . Treating 65 year olds differently because of stereotypes or falsehoods would be ageist; treating them differently because they have already had more life-years is not.' Treating anybody differantly based on age IS discrimination based up on age, not matter how one dresses the logic up. The whole story sums up nicely that at least this bloke belives it IS acceptible to put a price on human life, that I would call dispicable.
