You Wanted CHANGE, You Got It!


I listened to this twice thinking my ears had deceived me! Prepare to be shocked!

On Page 425 of Obama's health care bill, the Federal Government will require EVERYONE who is on Social Security to undergo a counseling session every 5 years with the objective being that they will explain to them just how to end their own life earlier. Yes...They are going to push SUICIDE to cut medicare spending!!! And no, I am NOT kidding YOU! So those of you who voted for Obama have now put your own parents in dire straights...Congratulations!

Also, planned denial of medical care for seniors.

People need to rent and watch a movie called Soylent Green starring Charleston Heston and Edward G. Robinson. The movie, made in 1973, depicts the U.S. in the year 2022.

From MSN:

The controversy stems from a proposal to pay physicians who counsel elderly or terminally ill patients about what medical interventions they would prefer near the end of life and how to prepare instructions such as living wills. Under the plan, Medicare would reimburse doctors for one session every five years to confer with a patient about his or her wishes and how to ensure those preferences are followed. The counseling sessions would be voluntary.

They are not going to kill your grandparents. Get over it.

Nothing the usurper does would surprise me.

I'm not sure they'll push suicide, but the plan is to NOT offer life saving procedures for the elderly because of the cost/benefit. This was all explained before, but you had posters who said "granny is not going to be euthanized". Well, in an indirect way she will be. The 75 year old with a heart condition is going to be told to go home and die, rather than an expensive procedure, on the theory that he/she has already outlived the actuarial tables and thus, it would not be beneficial to extend their life. Thanks you liberal posers for putting us in this precarious situation. you assholes

Thank you, Henry. I read a very full explanation of it at some other news site. Wish I could remember which one.

Joe, you are misinforming your readers. Shame on you for posting this hysterical drivel.

Four years ago, I went through this with my mother. Her own doctor didn't know what her wishes were. I had one set of doctors ordering one thing and him doing another. It made my life and hers a living hell. I'll know better what to do when my father goes.

This is a good thing. It's voluntary, and you want to scare people with it? Shame on you.

You have a great blog, but you are misusing it for this partisan nonsense. I may have my concerns about this health bill, but this sure as hell is not one of them.

By the way, my older brother can't wait for Medicare. After the way he's been ripped off by private insurance companies, Medicare will be a blessing.

I believe it. This is typical liberal agenda - you know the ones who believe in late term abortions but not the death penalty?

They want to run our industries, own our financial system, cap salaries, redistribute wealth, and basically take away all our choices on how we live.

The America I once knew will soon be gone entirely if something is not done soon. Frankly I'm happy to see Americans finally rising up and expressing opposition. Only then will our Republic survive.

My mother i law had open heart surgery at age 85. she had diabeties also. She had the operation, accross the bridge, and came home one week later in regular transportation. she lived a good 10 years after this. So be careful who you listen to on "giving up". The hospital her in salisbury gave up but the Washington Heart Center said the operation was a piece of cake! Dont ever give up!

It was Obama who was on the grassy knoll and acted alone.

Jimmy Hoffa is buried under Obama's house in Ill.

Obama is area 51

Anymore conspiracy theories we can pin on him?

No one is going to council anyone to kill themselves or have assisted suicide. This is just smoke and mirrors because they have no good arguments. I think this stuff is so over the top it will backfire.

I have been entertaining 2 Canadian families from Montreal this week and have heard horrow
stories with regards to goverment
run health. You are placed on a list in many cases for treatment and in many cases could be on it for years. Thats is why the wealthier Canadians and people from the UK come here for medical procedures. We need a say in this!

There are doctors in this town right now at our local hospital and a local nursing home who encourage families to let their loved ones die. I have had personal experience with this type situation. It is nothing new. The victims did not have a chance at all to any type "counseling session". It was too late. The doctors had already started the process of eliminating care. Wake up people and pay attention to the "health care" you think you have now.

Hey Henry 1:53pm go drink some more kool Aide and read the bill for your self.What they imply and what they do are two different things.I for one do not want the government in the middle of my health care.They have already proven with out a doubt they can screw up anything without much effort.Finances are one one the things listed they will be able to look at without your consent if this measure passes.People look out next thing you know they'll be in total control of every aspect of your life.

Well this has been entertaining. You guys are really grasping at straws. Is there any common sense on the shore at all. Give me a break!

All of you liberal naysayers better google Ezekeiel Emanuel, brother of rahm Emanuel and Obamas chief health care advisor. Take a look at his belief system in regards to the rationing of health care and who is worthy and who is not before you start your Alinsky type tactics. YOU WERE WRONG ABOUT OBAMA--Get over it and Get ready.

Funny how many of the people b*tching about this are already on Medicare.

3:28 is right. There are plenty right here that say, you're old, too bad, die already.

God forbid doctors be encouraged to have a talk with you about YOUR choices. Get real people and stop swallowing every bit of malarkey fed to you.

chuck said...

You're either lying about this, or you didn't bother to fact check it, Joe.

What was that about "responsibility" again?

I smell all sorts of liberal ACORN trolls posting on this site trying to pass Obamacide medical reform!

People simply don't read much. The United Nations has a public policy of endorsing eugenics and population control principles like abortion. The World Health Organization is a eugenics construct. Our military is using DU (depleted uranium) daily, and so does Israel (a war crime). Israel uses white phosphorus on people (a war crime).
More importantly, we may soon be REQUIRED to accept a jab of swine flu vaccine which has been untested. The corporations who make the vaccines have all been granted immunity from damages caused by their vaccines. We are going to force vaccinate people for profit - without any risk of tort responsibility!
The health care bill includes all of these eugenics provisions.

As stated, our goverment can't even run "CASH FOR CLUNKERS" So you think they can run a health program! Maybe the "CASH FOR CLUNKERS" is a trial run for their proposed health plan where they destroy cars for now and later seniors.

One only has to look a the graph of population soon to be over 65 (Baby Boomers) to realise that Zeke Emanuel means to cut down the elderly population by any means necessary.

OMG 10:47, are you serious? I only ask because I did not think it was possible to be so stupid.

You all are missing the point. Yes now we have choices to end our life or not. After Obama pushes his health care reform that nobody wants. The choices will be gone. The government will control who gets the treatments and who doesn't.
Mostly based on how old you are. Your grandfather needs a heart operation or he will die. Government says he is too old we need to save that space for someone younger after all your grandfather is old and will soon die anyway. Like it or not that is the way it will work. That is the savings Obama is talking about.

If the state run health plans were run by people who knew what they were doing, they could cover more people. I know of offices that do unnecessary xrays beacuse MA pays for them! Guess what...MA never questions the need for these xrays...they just pay. The money is not managed correctly and so fewer people are eligible for coverage (because the money isn't there). I like my private health insurance just fine. Obama needs to get his head out of the clouds and use some common sense.
