Universal Healthcare Will Be Universal NIGHTMARE!

Here are a few facts - that you won't hear on the mainstream media - regarding the House version of Obama's Universal Healthcare (Management) System. The following is from a July 15th, 2009 radio interview of Betsy McCaughey, former Lieutenant Governor of New York - and an active Patient Advocate - who has actually read the bill:

1. The bill is half paid for by a $500 BILLION cut in health care benefits and services for seniors!
2. On page 425 of the House version, Congress would make it mandatory that everyone on Medicare have a required counseling every 5 years on how to end their life sooner! How to decline nutrition, how to decline hydration, and how to go into hospice care. And, if you get sick during that 5 year period, you have to go through that counseling again!
3. All this is designed to encourage you to do what is in the best interest of society, or your family's best interests, by cutting your life short.
4. To insure equal treatment, even if you have enough money to pay for the needed treatment yourself... treatment cannot be provided.

When the "Stimulus Bill" was passed in February of 2009, there was something slipped into that bill called "Comparative Effectiveness Research" - this is generally a code for denying care to a patient based on their birthdate. It is a code that economists are quite familiar with, and the formula is relatively simple. You divide the cost of the treatment by the number of years the patient is likely to benefit from it. So, for age-related diseases - like Macular Degeneration, or Alzheimer's, or Osteoporosis - those treatments are often turned down in England, where this formula is widely used because the elderly patients have too few years left to benefit from treatment.

In 2006, the British National Health service issued an edict, using Comparative Effectiveness Research, saying that elderly people with Macular Degeneration - a condition that causes blindness - couldn't get a new drug to save the vision of both eyes until they had lost the vision in one eye!

Barack Obama's plan to reduce health care costs will be met thusly:
1. Reduce Medicare benefits and services by $500 BILLION dollars. While the White House, the Cabinet, and members of Congress continue to receive gold standard treatment in their own separate health plan - which is paid for by the taxes of the same people whose care will be reduced by $500 BILLION! If this health plan is good enough for US, why isn't it good enough for THEM?
2. Encouraging suicide among those whose care creates a drain on the system - the elderly, the chronically ill, and the developmentally disabled. We're now talking about your parents and grandparents, your brother with Downs Syndrome, or your sister with Muscular Dystrophy!
3. Creating TRILLIONS of dollars in new taxes to support his socialist dream.

Dr. Ezekial Emanuel, brother of Obama's Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, said "People who have incurable or irreversible illnesses, should not be given basic health services." And, as an example, he cites, "An obvious example is not giving health services to patients with dementia."
This would include your parents with Alzheimer's, and your children with Cerebral Palsy!
Personally, I believe that Michelle Obama and the Emanuel brothers should be the first to experience such a health management system!

The whole thing stinks of communism! Perhaps your governments next plan will be to round up all the Jews... or all the Whites. Shades of Soylent Green (for those of you unfamiliar with SG, see: http://www.retrojunk.com/movie/trailers/45-soylent-green/44/#intro ). And why does the AmeriCorps mandatory volunteer program sound so similar to Hitler's Jugend (Youth Corps)?

I could be wrong about this... but I'm not!

If It Waddles Like A Duck, And Quacks Like A Duck....

Here's our fearless leaders' latest plan to eliminate the elderly. From Reuters News Service, 5/11/09:

"By focusing on delivering more efficient care, Obama is weighing in on one of the least controversial aspects of his healthcare proposal rather than the much more heated topic of whether to establish a new public insurance plan.

A more efficient healthcare system would save the government money by reducing spending on the huge Medicare system, an existing program for older Americans." FOR WHICH WE PAY almost $100 per month, every month!

Reducing spending on Medicare results in reduced levels of care, which results in reduced life expectancy. I'm expecting to hear the announcement on TV and radio, requiring all persons over the age of 60 to report to the Soylent Green Biscuit Company for final processing!

My own doctor, who had been scheduling me to be seen by his office every 3 months, suddenly stopped scheduling me at all as soon as I reached 65 and became eligible for Medicare. This is our government saying, "Thank you for a lifetime of supporting your government... now, just go somewhere and DIE! Your continued existence is no longer producing significant income for the government."

UNBELIEVABLE!

If you want to cut back on medical costs, how about eliminating Medicaid for the entitlement whore adults. These freeloaders are less than uproductive, they are THE MAIN DRAIN on our tax base.

Obama Desires to Bill Military Members for War and Service Related Injuries!"

The following are quoted excerpts from "Our Voice" the American Legions' online e-zine - "WASHINGTON, DC (March 16, 2009) – The leader of the nation’s largest veterans organization says he is “deeply disappointed and concerned” after a meeting with President Obama today to discuss a proposal to force private insurance companies to pay for the treatment of military veterans who have suffered service-connected disabilities and injuries. The Obama administration recently revealed a plan to require private insurance carriers to reimburse the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in such cases."

The article goes on to say, “It became apparent during our discussion today that the President intends to move forward with this unreasonable plan,” said Commander David K. Rehbein of The American Legion. “He says he is looking to generate $540-million by this method, but refused to hear arguments about the moral and government-avowed obligations that would be compromised by it. There is simply no logical explanation for billing a veteran’s personal insurance for care that the VA has a responsibility to provide. While we understand the fiscal difficulties this country faces right now, placing the burden of those fiscal problems on the men and women who have already sacrificed a great deal for this country is unconscionable.”

"Unconscionable"? That word doesn't begin to describe my feelings toward the actions of your liberal, lying, left-wing, cowardly "leader". A man who, without any military experience whatsoever, is suddenly the Commander-in-Chief of our Armed Forces. A man who has so little respect, consideration, or compassion for those who have been placed in harm's way - by the government - that he would even consider such an outrageous plan. Despicable is the word that comes immediately to mind ... followed by unconscionable, and a few other words that I won't post here.

Want to save the taxpayers some money? It could easily begin with an across-the-board 50% pay cut for the members of Congress. That would save the taxpayers $46,477,250 per annum! Congressional office, mail, and staff allowances could also be halved.

In 2003 the total amount of allowance provided to Members of the House ranged from $701,136 to $1,636,750. Members do not have to use all of the money allotted to them in their allowances. (Each Member is allotted $748,312 to hire up to 18 staff and four additional temporary, part-time, of shared staff. Staff cannot be paid more than $151,974 per year.) That's a mean average of roughly $1,169,000 per representative. (Source: Congressional Research Service, January 26, 2004)

In 2003 the total amount of all three allowances provided to Senators ranged from $2,264,345 to $3,751,995 for a mean average of $3,008,170. Senators do not have a limit on the amount staff they can hire! (Source: Congressional Research Service, January 26, 2004) I think most people could run an office on $1.5 million per year - everybody I know could! The only thing you couldn't do would be to throw lavish parties for your supporters.

So, what would be the result of forcing military members to pay for their own health care? The immediate and most noticeable result, would be a sharp decline in enlistments and re-enlistments in our armed forces - especially those most likely to find themselves in the midst of armed combat, the Army and Marines. Our military would be reduced to the point where national defense would fall, once again, squarely on the shoulders of the "citizen soldier" ... shades of 1776! My assumption here is that your liberal, left-wing government would actually desire national defense. They believe that insufficient numbers of trained military will make the handover of our country that much easier - especially if they can pull off a nationwide gun grab.

A less obvious result of forcing our military members to pay for their own health care would be putting the government one step closer to realizing the control they can exert over the citizenry with a "National Health Plan". Old? Handicapped? Reached those non-productive years of retirement? Report to the nearest Soylent Corporation office - the year 2022 isn't that far off.

Obama has shown his true color ever since his inauguration. He's neither black nor white - his true color is communist red! This unqualified and unprepared usurper was elected to the most powerful position in the free world, by the sheep of our nation - the entitlement whores! God save us from ourselves ...

I could be wrong about this ... and Obama could care about the future of our country. FAT CHANCE!
