Kentucky Dem Congressman John Yarmuth was just interviewed on Fox. He surprised me by confirming that, under Obamacare, all health care will be rationed based upon the government's double secret Quality Life Years scale. When the reporter asked him to repeat that, he continued with, "If you want any procedure not approved by Obama's Health Care Panel of experts (hip replacement, cancer screening, etc.), "you will have to pay for that yourself."
Pretty clear.
Methinks a Kentuckey Dem just sh*t the truth. I guess he has decided he would like to be re-elected?
Well Congressman, we’re not all fools and lemmings. You will eventually be held accountable. Next up: Gun confiscation under the guise of “health” issues. Yeah, we see that one coming too. Fascist pigs.
John is my congressman, and I’ve met him a couple of times, and heard him speak. I don’t agree with him on most matters, but he seems to be a straightshooter. In this case, however, he may have been a little too honest, Pelosi may be after him now that he has exposed their big secret.
After all, at 62+, I am an old man, past my prime, and of no value to society.

If the quality of life matters so much, then maybe we should withhold healthcare from ghettos and trailer parks.
Since every group in America is a protected class save for
one,they will be the only ones to have their health care
rationed!
Socialized Medicine does not like ‘expensive’ citizens. If this Obamanation of a Healthcare Bill becomes law, we better find ways to pay for our own quality of life healthcare.
THE YOUNG TURN AGAINST OBAMACARE
By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN
Published on DickMorris.com on November 24, 2009
Previously, we reported to you that our national polling showed that the under-30 voters were the strongest supporters of the Obama healthcare initiative. While seniors opposed it by almost 2-to-1 and voters 30-64 opposed it by five- to 10-point margins, the under-30 voters backed his program by 58-30.
So with the funds you have donated, we ran television advertisments and an Internet campaign aimed at young people focused in Arkansas, North Dakota and Maine. The results are incredible! Now under-30 voters are the strongest opponents of the plan. In the table below, we show you the vote on the Obama plan broken down by age. (We aggregated all three states so we would have enough interviews to make the age subsets statistically meaningful.)
Support/Oppose Obama plan, combined data for Arkansas, North Dakota and Maine
Age Support/Oppose Obama Plan
Under 30 25-65
30-49 28-60
50-64 41-50
Over 65 32-55
The polling had predicted that the young would swing sharply and dramatically against the Obama program once they got the key information about it, but we are blown away by these results.
These data are from polls the League of American Voters commissioned John Zogby to conduct. Commenting on the results, John said, “These results among 18- to 29-year-olds are striking. It puts in jeopardy the whole theory of the new Democratic majority, because young people are essential to that base.”
Boy, is he ever correct!
At the same time that we are seeing this big shift, the national data on ObamaCare continues to show slippage. Rasmussen shows support down to 38 percent (56 percent opposed) from 45-52 right after the House vote.
Will the Senate listen to public opinion? Damn right they will! At this rate, they would have to face the loss of their entire political base to pass this legislation. Politicians don’t work that way! These early procedural votes don’t mean much. As George W. Bush said in the war on terror, “We have to be right all the time. The enemy just has to get it right once.” Now it is the opposite. We just need to win one vote to kill the plan. They need to win them all. And at this rate, the plan is in deep, deep trouble.
PLEASE keep the money flowing! We want to run ads along this line in all the swing states (Arkansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Maine, Indiana, Virginia, Connecticut). To do so for the three weeks before the Senate vote will cost us $1.3 million.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY
It will be rationed for Whites.
Blacks & other minorities will be given an "exception".
DeathCare here we come!
Yep. I had my right knee replaced on March 31st of this year. I was 61. I expect that when it comes time for my left knee to be replaced, I will not be allowed to have it done.
After all, at 62+, I am an old man, past my prime, and of no value to society.
Well at least you had one replaced. I am still “fairly” young in my forties and what is going to happen when I hit my sixties??
I keep telling everyone I know, eat right, work out and plan like HELL not to get sick.
Just my 2 cents.
Get your resume in order, Mr. Yarmuth.
Healthcare Bill Would Regulate — Vending Machines!
The healthcare reform bill recently passed by the House imposes new regulations on vending machine owners that would cost the industry an estimated $56 million in the first year.
Vending machine operators would have to either install new machines that allow customers to view nutrition facts, or post nutritional information for each product near “each item of food or the selection button.”
Section 2572 of the bill says, “In the case of an article of food sold from a vending machine that – (I) does not permit a prospective purchaser to examine the Nutritional Facts Panel before purchasing the article or does not otherwise provide visible nutrition information at the point of purchase; and (II) is operated by a person who is engaged in the business of owning or operating 20 or more vending machines, the vending machine operator shall provide a sign in close proximity to each article of food or the selection button that includes a clear and conspicuous statement disclosing the number of calories contained in the article.”
The requirement applying to vendors with 20 or more machines would affect 85 to 95 percent of the industry, according to Ned Monroe, senior vice president of government affairs at the National Automatic Merchandising Association, the vending machine trade organization.
“It’s a pretty substantial economic hit,” said Monroe. His group estimates that complying with the bill will cost the vending machine industry $56.4 million in the first year alone, at a time when revenue is already falling.
“From our estimate, it’s almost $11 per machine for the first stocking or first labeling of the machine,” Monroe told CNS News. “Costs would then mount further as labels or menus had to be updated with newly stocked products.
“Our position is that our products already disclose calories. Our items have nutritional information on the back of the packaging already.”
Don't forget Hollywood and Muslim Terrorists.
