After what I have read through this, it looks like my nursing services to the elderly via Medicare will be denied me when my time comes.

Congressional supporters of the new policy, though pleased, have kept quiet. They fear provoking another furor like the one in 2009 when Republicans seized on the idea of end-of-life counseling to argue that the Democrats’ bill would allow the government to cut off care for the critically ill.

In other words, don't let people know what you're really doing.

Because, if they found out, they'd be pissed off.

Liberalism in action...

I wrote this little narrative in a thread about this earlier in the year:

Here is what will happen first:
"...I'm sorry sir...we cannot schedule that appointment for you in November 2010 to have that melanoma removed because you have not undergone your mandatory annual counseling after age 65...oh, of course you are right. I know you are only 62, but they did move the age down again this year...we have an opening in three months with the counselors office...would you like that?"

This is fully expected, but It will not be the people you will be FORCED to talk to in order to receive your care, nor the intentional delays in care that will be the most insidiously evil facets of this.

But it will be the conversations like this that will become commonplace that REALLY illustrate what it is all about:
"...Hi Jan, how are you? I heard your father is resisting counseling. It must be difficult, I know. There just seems to be so much of that lately. I know I am only 40 years old, but I don't understand why people like your father are so opposed to this.

I went with my mother to her counseling session, and while she was angry because she was supposed to have another five years before she had to go but they moved the age down again, she went anyway. I thought she was really rude to the counseling agent, who was just a young woman only doing her job. Hm.

Someone told me they are only hiring young women as counselors now, because the men who were doing it just got angry too easily and shouted at people to just "sign the damned papers". Hm. I tried to tell my mom why they have to do this, but she said they do it just to get rid of old people to save money.

The counseling agent gave my mom a copy of the book "Death is Joy". I read it, and it makes a lot of sense to me. Of course, when I was going to school, we didn't have to read it, but now they have required classes they take every year beginning in first grade.

Suzie is in third grade and is taking the course this year that deals with the chapter on keeping birth rates down, and Tommy is in his senior year where they cover the financial aspects of care for the elderly. He was so excited, he said that since they have implemented this national care program, the number of elderly people has dropped dramatically, so they can spend more money on programs such as monthly equality checks for the economically disadvantaged and reparations for the descendants of slaves. I think it is wonderful.

He asked me why so many elderly people are so selfish and refuse to accept counseling...I didn't really have an answer for him. Hm. Now, don't be defensive, I am not criticizing your parents.

I am just saying, it is a problem.

They had an hour-long program on PBS about this the other night, and they were saying how the people who are being selfish about this and refusing to take advantage of early exit programs that pay cash to their children are being so self-centered because they grew up in a time where everyone was self-centered and were interested only in money. You know, they showed films from the days of the capitalists where there were people who had what they called 'gas-guzzlers", and they used to make so much more money than they needed to live comfortably, so many people were going without health care because they were taking all the money..."

To paraphrase Democrat Congressman (and escaped Mental Patient) Alan Grayson, Democrats want you to die.

I hope one of our new Republican Congressmen finds the posters Grayson used in his tirade and crosses out “Republican” and replaces it with “Obama”.

Okay, they would never do that, so just change it to “Democrat”.

The government should not be spending money to end peoples’ lives and it should not be spending money to keep people alive. The government should get out of health care, period. Medicare and Medicaid are unconstitutional.

"The rule was issued by Dr. Donald M. Berwick, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and a longtime advocate for better end-of-life care.

"Using unwanted procedures in terminal illness is a form of assault," Dr. Berwick has said. "In economic terms, it is waste. Several techniques, including advance directives and involvement of patients and families in decision-making, have been shown to reduce inappropriate care at the end of life, leading to both lower cost and more humane care."

TRANSLATION: Kill the old people and those with serious illness to save money, their life is worthless.

Under the new policy, outlined in a Medicare regulation, the government will pay doctors who advise patients on options for end-of-life care, which may include advance directives to forgo aggressive life-sustaining treatment

and of course Econ 101teaches you to subsidize what you want to encourage, tax what you want to discourage.

welcome to the Culture of Death come home to roost, FRiends and neighbors. The state has put a price on your head.

Geezus H. Christ.

Got to admire the tenacity and boldness of the fascists who now rule us...Shame that there isn't a single republican with the same...All of the republicans have assumed the ankle-grab position since the election. After all, they got some of what they really wanted...perks & power at the feet of their masters...

Watch the GOP performance in a couple of weeks...They'll read the former Constitution as a feeble symbolic gesture to the millions of citizens who worked their collective butts off to get them elected, then it will be back to business as usual...

Amazing how everyone seems to have forgotten how much of our former freedom & liberty were irretrievably lost while the GOP controlled congress and the WH...
