Let’s say I am eligible for S.S in a year but I have a heart attack. A costly bypass surgery will save my life and I would be likely live another 25 years thus collecting 1/2 mill $’s in S.S.. Without the bypass I will die within weeks. Which option will be best for the Federal budget?
Yes. People should think about Death Panels. The Democrats are clearly on board with infanticide. Killing the very young because they are inconvenient? They have no qualms. It’s pretty easy to guess that somewhat older people, with health problems, just won’t be worth much to the socialists. Let them die. Or speed them on their way. Socialists never shirk from mass murder.
As Senator Kamala Harris put it recently on CNN, “the idea is that everyone gets access to medical care, and you don’t have to go through the process of going through an insurance company, having them give you approval, going through the paperwork, all of the delay that may require. Who of us has not had that situation, where you’ve got to wait for approval, and the doctor says, well, I don’t know if your insurance company is going to cover this? Let’s eliminate all of that. Let’s move on.”That is just so outlandish and absurd...she actually thinks the government will say "OK" and say it quickly. As you say, their answer most of the time will be "No, it costs too much and you are nothing but a useless eater." The "No" answers will come on the same day as your request. The "Yes" answers will take a year to get. And there will be NOBODY you can call as everybody you talk to will say "That's no my job, but Pedro can help you." Then Pedro will say "That's not my job, but let me put you in touch with Sha'zama - she can help you." Then Sha'zama will say "That's not my job, but I think Rajeev is the right person. Please hold."
