WHAT A SHAME

Everybody that is on this mailing list is either a senior citizen,
is getting close or knows somebody that is.

Most of you know by now that the Senate version (at least) of the "stimulus" bill includes provisions for extensive rationing of health care for senior citizens. The author of this part of the bill, former senator and tax evader, Tom Daschle was credited today by Bloomberg with the following statement.

Bloomberg: "Daschle says health-care reform will not be pain free. Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them."

If this does not sufficiently raise your ire, just remember that Senators and Congressmen have their own health care plan that is first dollar or very low co-pay which they are guaranteed the remainder of their lives and are not subject to this new law if it passes.

Would Daschle and others push this ridicules plan if they were not covered by free health care provided to them the Tax Payer, the same ones they will be limiting / dening proper / equal medical care. What about it Liberals and Democracts this means you too?

Daschle needs to be checked out to see whether he even has a heart. Waht a cold, unfeeling, arrogant statement to make!

When iwas young i looked forward to getting older.
Now i am disappointed in the younger generations, they are greedy and very self center . They care about nothing but money. Rather it be taking healthcare from the elderly or land rights from the farmer.
When i was younger we looked out for the elderly and sometimes we even done without ourselves so we could care for them..
Not to mention things such as predatory lending , it was all about someone getting rich, and that is what this is about.
Why dont you try working and being honest to get ahead. It worked for me and i have never taken anything from any one.
You land grabbers and politicians , i hope you can sleep at night , obvious some of you cant some have even killed themselves lately (fred mack)
From me to you i hope you all go to hell, you have had a large hand in bringing down america and its way of life.

10:39 AM , I to believe politicians
have contributed to "bringing down
America". Our country should be
ashamed of the way our senior
citizens are being treated.

I also think our politicians should
be taking cuts in their pay,pensions & THE WONDERFUL PERK
OF THEIR GUARANTEED HEALTH INS.
PACKAGE. THE SPOUCES CONTINUED TO
RECEIVE THAT AFTER THEY ARE
DECEASED----MIND YOU.

I could probably start getting
so angry it is advisable I sign
off now. However , next election
let us vote these people out & let
us all take a stand for fairness
given to all in this country.

I agree vote em out or run them out of town.
which ever comes first.
But the times have changed americans dont stand up for themselves anymore, the politicians and big industry take it all.
So i will vote, you will vote and we will most likely get someone worse.
What do we do?
