So we can all have government healthcare—except for when we really need it!
One of the reasons congress excluded themselves. They plan on drawing the taxpayer fund pension as long as they can.
I translated his position as, “give my illegal friends the money.” I did not say that he is an illegal. But he is one of many liberal progressives who argue that we should give unlimited amnesty and free medical care to illegals.
Or, to mention another example, give in-state tuition rates to illegals from other countries, but not to American citizens from other states.
Yet again.
This is literally a thank you Baby Boomers for voting for me, now drop dead.
Matthew Yglesias huh? Somebody needs to tell that boy. Running around talking about who he thinks needs to just die, is a good way to get his own lamp blowed out.
People are sometimes funny like that.
And i know it’s a shock, but some people over 80 are happy thay are alive.
This is gonna end in a war being forced upon us as the only alternative to death. They are determined to attack us on all fronts, and even discuss our death. They are sure we will knuckle under,, i don’t think we will.
Any member of a “ Death Panel” that decides any member of my family is to be “eliminated” had better be prepared to join them!
Cant wait for the idiot liberals to fall victim to their own carefully laid plans.
Old rich liberals are exempt, but once they achieve their goals the old poor liberals are no longer needed.
Unfortunately the vast majority of "blue staters" do.
Salon is one of the left's most influential thought leaders.
Implement it you fascists and we old people will be coming for you...you won’t survive it.
FUBO & FAD
I read somewhere that a country can be morally judged simply by the way it treats it’s very young and very old. Let’s see we murder millions of babies in the womb, and soon we will be like Britian who had a doctor report that they encourage the death of at least 130,000 elderly per year. I guess those who are calling for the death panels now don’t ever think that they will ever be old.

Good that he got it now because in a few years, he might not have that option.
I cringe at our future.
Of course. It was obvious from the start. I predicted they would let the old people die, refuse treatment to men with prostate cancer, and use the money instead for sex-”change” operations, AIDS treatments, and abortion.
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
This is where your old people monies go....not to “care”...but to milk the system.

I see this same abuse with my parents-in-law who are both in their 80s. Their doctors have recommended every test imaginable for them. Finally, my father-in-law said, “no more”. They were driving an hour one-way for most appointments, depleting their minimal resources and tiring them out further...
One of my great aunts was in an auto accident (not her fault incidentally, she was a passenger) that broke her hip and pelvis. She was 82 at the time. Got both completely reworked and lived, independently, until she was 97. Gardened in her own backyard and grew veggies for all her neighbors, cooked meals for ‘shut ins’ in her church that a neighbor delivered. Crocheted my kids baby blankets. Should we have just let her die with the pain pills at 82?
My own grandfather had kidney failure at 78. Six months of dialysis and his kidneys started working again. He lived, independently, until he was 90. He also gardened extensively, split his own firewood and led bible study classes. Should we have just terminated him at 78 instead?
Not at all! I do not want them to die... The doctors put them through all these tests, though, and then tell them nothing can be done as the health conditions of their bodies could not withstand the surgeries... Just makes no sense to me, and I applaud my father-in-law for standing up to them.
