“This is a blatant step toward European socialist healthcare.”
Nope.
This is European socialist healthcare.
This is even more insidious. Think of it.
Do you smoke? Are you overweight? Have diabetes? Do you drink alcohol? Coffee? Think how they can ration health care to people they deem as contributing to their own “health concerns.” Are you 70 or over? Your usefulness is over. To quote Dickens “Better you should perish and decrease the surplus population.” You die, no Social Security benefits. Government takes money.
And the greedy socialists at AARP have this commentary on their website:
http://www.aarp.org/aarp/presscenter/pressrelease/articles/Health_Research_Investment.html
so AARP will not be useful, I’d surmise.
Though I did hear a few older callers on C-SPAN this morning doing their level-best to sound the alarm.
Good point!
