We complain that medicaid is too high and now we complain when they want to ration health care?
Wow...bump this and call your Senators and congress people again!
As a member of AARP, they got a note on this, this morning. I will be interested in any response I receive. Given that their site has postings that tell their members to ENCOURAGE THE GOVERNMENT TO PASS THE STIMULUS BILL — which contains the draconian measures AGAINST SENIORS in Obama’s (Daschel’s) radical socialized medical laws.
Hypocrisy? From AARP? We shall see.
But now the joke is on us -- the government is promising Better Healthcare, More of it, and it will be Free!!!!
Some people actually think this is possible. Those people mostly work in the media.
It’s too late. Porkulus has passed and so has life as we now know it.
All of you "principled conservatives" who sent your message? I hope you are proud of yourselves! You are tools of the RATS!
And not just for the elderly. For everyone.
Obama is doing everything the left did to destroy thge UK. Letting Muslims flood in, endless freebies for illegals and rationing for old people. Illegals will get no cuts but old people will because they will die soon. The Democrats learned last election that they don’t need the seniors vote anymore.
Many stupid old people voted for this evil clown.
It just occurred to me...outside of the military and intelligence departments, the government galumphs along on computers that are ten years out of date. Just what are they going to do for data storage for all the medical records of 300,000,000 individuals? Just asking, is all.
I think they still have to hammer out a compromise bill between the house and senate so I don't think it's quite over yet. Keep the pressure on!
DOW is down 300 points! All Hail "The Magic Negro!"
I’ll certainly complain when my parents are allowed to die for lack of medical care.
Just because people complain about the high cost of health care doesn’t mean that they want to see a massive socialized medical bureaucracy imposed that makes life and death decisions for us.
I would rather see us save money by eliminating illegal immigration, by reforming how hospitals are forced to absorb emergency room costs, by dramatically reducing litigation that forces doctors/hospitals to purchase massive insurance policies, and by getting government regulations more OUT than in.
So, for example, my complaint about the high cost of Medicaid has nothing in common with what the Dems are doing.
Arlen Specter was on Fox News this morning and was asked about this. He admitted he had no idea this was in the plan. Few apparently did, which was exactly what Daschle suggested: do it on the sly in the name of something else or opposition will build and it won’t pass.
AARP has always been a liberal-Democrat organization. I’ve seen enough of their literature to be pretty clear in that.
And I’m guessing Obama didn’t tell AARP that he planned to let old people die of medical neglect to save money for his government health care.
Frantzie,
There is that sense of talionic justice as D. James Kennedy put it: “Watch out, Grandpa! Because the generation that survived abortion will come after you!”
And now they are.
I wonder if the older members of Congress will have this same health care and will be denied medical procedures due to their age? </EXTREME_SARCHASM>
What I do see is the information groundwork being laid for nationalized health care. By establishing a nationwide standard medical information system nationalized health care can be achieved.
Then the abortion and euthanasia programs will be implemented. However, by saying something that is not there, the poser loses credibility.
I don't deny they want it.
I don't deny it's coming.
It just isn't here in the bill. IF you call everyone and say they are rationing health care you will be dismissed as an alarmist. Instead call and object to the centralizing of the medical information system in the name of efficiency. It is a weapon to be used later on the weak and the helpless.
Because he ran ads in Arizona, Florida, etc., over and over and over again saying “John McCain is going to take away your right to healthcare”... the joke is on the voters he scared into believing it.
“AARP has always been a liberal-Democrat organization. I’ve seen enough of their literature to be pretty clear in that.”
Agreed, they are, and that’s why neither my wife nor myself ever joined that organization.
“And I’m guessing Obama didn’t tell AARP that he planned to let old people die of medical neglect to save money for his government health care.”
Possibly, but I don’t think it would have mattered to the leaders of the AARP if they had been told. They are in the tank for Socialism IMO.
