FTA:

Science proves the president is wrong. Knee replacements, for example, not only relieve pain but also save lives. Seniors with severe osteoarthritis who opt for knee replacement are less apt to succumb to heart failure and have a 50% higher chance of being alive five years later than arthritic seniors who don’t undergo the procedure, according to peer-reviewed scientific research.

Yet Foster warned Congress that 15% of hospitals may stop treating seniors once the Obama-Care cuts go into effect. The rest will have to lower the standard of care. Hospitals will have $247 billion less over the next decade to care for the same number of seniors as if the health law had not been enacted.

Death panel reach...........they will force the doctors thru regulation and threats to refuse to treat seniors thereby allowing them to die of the govenments label of natural causes

[ZULU]

This bastard should drop dead and take Sabelius with him.

[ballplayer]

Well I guess there is a truth Obama told after all.
When you OFF all the seniors,you do save money,just don’t tell the seniors

When this lying SOB finally contracts AIDS or hepatitis, I hope some good doctor hands him an aspirin and tells him to go home (back to Kenya).

"President Obama seems to think too many seniors are getting these procedures. At a town hall debate in 2009, he told a woman “maybe you’re better off not having the surgery but taking the painkiller.”

The leftists who voted for this marxist-mooslum deserve this....but we suffer, too.

More than half the cost of O/Care's "senior entitlement" scam is subsidized by actually restricting and rationing senior care---by cutting what hospitals, doctors, hospice care, home care and Advantage plans are paid to care for seniors.

Obama and the Dumbos are in for a shock---they don't seem to realize they're "teaching" their own caretakers how to treat them in old age.....not going to be pretty.

Where’s the “War of the Elderly” rhetoric?

If the parties were reversed, the dems would be going berserk.

My hospital, where I had a $75,000 knee replacement three weeks ago, couldn’t’t have been nicer.

So Medicare won’t be socialist enough? Ok by me.

DEATH PANELS

[Jane Long]

Thanks for posting. Betsy McCaughey is the one who has researched this abomination of a *law*, exhaustively. Mark Levin and Fox News have had her on, numerous times, to explain exactly what's in 0DeathCare.

Show this to every Senior lib you know. Tell them good luck with that knee/hip replacement, cataract surgery, etc.

Back when obamacare was being debated and enacted into law. Those of us, including Sarah Palin, who tried to warn theses very people that are now crying about what obamacare would actually do were called every kind of son of a bitch under the sun. Now that they are getting what they wanted, we are supposed to feel sorry for them. As far as I am concerned, they can continue to cry.

Obama is laughting at them for believing him number one and number two , even though they worship the ground he pisses on, he holds them in the bases of contempt.

Wouldn’t it be nice if America had an opposition party?

Cataract surgery may be the cheapest and most economical way to add productive years to seniors.

3 years ago my cataracts rapidly went from monitoring to really severe. I stopped driving because I couldn’t see (state of California said my vision was good enough for a drivers license including a Class B for smaller trucks.)

My self diagnosis: Blind in my left eye (my dominant eye), and I could not see very well out of my right eye). I had no distance vision and zero sideway vision.

So I finally met Medicare’s strict requirements even at that time, and I opted for the cataract surgery removal and insertion of accommodating lenses (no need for reading glasses and any other RX glasses). I paid the extra bucks out of pocket for these lenses.

24 hours after my left eye had the cataracts replaced, my vision went from blind basically to 20/20. I resumed driving.

A few weeks later, I had my right cataract removed and replaced with my second accommodating lens. My vision is better than when I was 18. It was 20/10 then, still is.

A few months before, about the time I lost the vision in my left eye due to the cataract, I had a serious fall. I misjudged a curb, stepped, missed it, fell, hurt my knees and hit my head with a good whack.

According to ER doctor friends, er nurses and eye doctors, seniors with severe cataracts have a lot of severe falls because their automatic depth perception becomes faulty when their dominant eye is impaired with the cataract. They felt that cataracts next to dehydration caused more falls in seniors than other causes.

Since my cataracts were removed and replaced with my new accommodating lenses, I feel steady and sturdy when walking and have not had any falls. This past year, I turned 75 and had take an eye tests for my Driver’s license renewal. I had 20/10, an the lady said my vision was as good or better than the younger people.

I was able to return to hiking up and down hills and local trails, fly fishing, kayaking and other outdoor activities without any fear of falling or not seeing what was ahead and around me.
