no way will the rich be allowed to pay for treatment. In the Hillarycare, the standard was one standard for all and there were penalities to docs to treated people outside the system. LIke Canada. In Britain you can get private pay but here, it would be disallowed except of course for the ruling grandees.
Right.
I have cancer, ovarian, with a 5 yr life expectancy of around 30 Percent. With salvage chemo, people can get four or five chemos with each relalpse, I can get a few more years and these are pretty good ones from what people tell me.
I think that without that option, I am a goner. Now who has the right to tell me to “accept” this at this point?
I have paid insurance premiums since age 18, never went to a doc till six months ago, never sick, only retired at 67 because of the cancer and will work again.
Who should tell me it is not cost effective for me to be alive to see my grandchildren, help my children, comfort my husband and see another beautiful day.
This is evil, for young and old.
plus for young people. I suspect that premies won’t be treated if below a certain weight. And children with CP or retardation or autism won’t be treated for life threatening illnesses. And pregnancies past two probably won’t be covered.
This is so anti everything we are as a people. It is astounding. ANd crept under the radar,,I knew about the council idea to bypass debate on a public health insurance. I did not know this was in this bill.
My treatment has been the object of a study Hopkins did for the govt. It is not cost effective in the short run, but is in the long run {better survival at greater expense}. When I saw that study my heart sunk. Johbns Hopkins is helping the gov determine “cost effctive”
The short run is what the gov wants,,they don’t care if I get three years or one year or five years. They just want to cut out the costs for a person who is retired. They simply are inhuman.
They will find a way to get treatment.
... And he said it as he continues to ingratiate himself to the current "U.S. Politburo" leadership.
Why is that sarcastic? It happens in Canada. It was a part of Hillarycare.
These are dems,,they breathe on making life hard for the “rich”.
The rich will leave the country for care. The middle class won’t be able to.
The grandees will have their own thing somewhere.
This is your Momand your Dad they want to kill, also your sick child.
bump
Doesn’t matter if you have money to pay for doctors, there will be no doctors, just like in Canada. This kind of medicine drives them away. Not only that, but doctors in Canada are overwhelmingly non-white immigrants, yep just who you want making a decision whether you live or die.
“This is your Momand your Dad they want to kill, also your sick child.”
Added to the unborn, we can get some serious killing of innocents done here...
Yes, but “lower overall spending by determining which medicines, treatments and procedures are most effective-and identifying those that do not justify their high price tags.”
Is a VERY long way from “lower overall spending by determining which medicines, treatments and procedures are most effective-and identifying those that do not justify their high price tags.”
Sorry, should have been;

Is a VERY long way from Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them.

The new “rules” have been introduced late Sat nite...
“Have there been any Soylent Green references yet?”
Yep...there have been a couple of servings...
I don’t think The Marxist Onada has a any clue what’s in the so-called stimulus bill until he hears about it in the media. He’s simply the pretty black face the left sends out there to sell us this pile of socialist doo doo.
Glenn Beck made one or two today--"Soylent Green is people."
There is no hope. That evil SOB POS knew what his plans were and he has fast tracked it in 3 weeks. I hope those 2 Maine twins and Specter rot in hell.

Sooner, rather than later...
Disclaimer; this is not to be construed as an incitement to violence, simply my own deep wishful thinking...
Specter on Foxnews now trying to provide cover. He is such a demented old fool! Says a revision may be in order!
A change in order???? I am so damn mad today if I saw Spector face to face I would punch him right in the face. Damn TRAITOR. Everyone I know is ready to blow.
