Exactly what our would-be communist dictator wants.

Well, I lost my previous health insurance policy and along with it, my doctors and hospital.

The medicare “death panels” almost killed my Mom last week by wanting to release her from the hospital while she was still bleeding from the kidney. Had to call Medicare to file an appeal to keep her in the hospital and after 2 days, the urologist performed a procedure to stop the bleeding. My 94 year old Mom has been paying for Medicare since it began in 1966. Guess she should have been illegal and the process would have been easier.

I always felt (and now so more than ever) that people should pay very close attention when older loved ones are receiving healthcare; the government has a vested interest in keeping worker bees going, but the model envisioned by our overlords has no room for retirees (regardless of what they have contributed over the course of their lives).

Scary...

This was the plan all along... what I can't understand is who are those that are surprised by this anymore?? Is anyone?
