Here's another example of the lies the American People are being thrown about the Obamacare process, especially the part about receiving the same quality medical attention via Obamacare that one receives now.
Folks its no joke, I know no other way of putting it, the Democratic Party wants to kill your Grandparents. If you are a baby-boomer I would worry because you are a target also.
Its nothing personal, just business. It makes economic sense, its expensive to keep old people alive. That's why the plan forces young people, who presently don't have heath care to purchase it. Keeping them healthy is cheap, the Democrats need them in the plan to help pay for the seniors they are going to let die.
Not only does the Congressional plan include mandatory classes for Seniors on "dying with dignity" but they ave added funds for additional Hospice care. I just received this email news flash from RedState

Also, here's a large image of the Democratic (Obama) Health Plan chart-another Obama empty promise. This is the one the House democrats are censuring. Email these links or the image to everyone you know.
Obama and all those pushing his radical agenda are abject marxist ideologues. Their "fundamental; change" is nothing more than a destruction of the American free market and fundamental republican principle.

I have a sick, sick feeling this is going to pass...
i saw three q-tips driving around like they were lost with Obama bumper stickers on their cars. They voted for hospice and they deserve it.
There is no way to hold down costs without rationing care. They aren’t being straight with the American people.
She's doing better, but I have suspicions about a doctor not being able to recognize staph. That's like a mechanic not recognizing an alternator. Either that doctor was extremely stupid, or he just figured she was 95, why bother?
BTW, she's getting treatment now, and is doing better.
We need a moral reawakening in this country.
We need to throw the moral imbeciles out of office, but to even begin to do that, and to keep them out, we’ve got to restore the soul of this country, and of the people who make up this country.
One of the things about a democracy is that ultimately the mob gets what it wants, and if what it wants is wrong, or harmful, or delusional, it will nevertheless elect leaders who will promise to give it to them. If you have an occasional clinker elected into office, thats unsurprising, people are after all people. But if you have wave after wave of elected leaders who are incapable of judging right from wrong, the problem goes deeper. Once the people themselves have become corrupt, democracy has few if any safeguards. Our “republic” may have some built in safeguards, but once the people themselves have become corrupt, they aren’t enough.
(Obscure sci-fi reference alert)
What can you expect from a proposal that wants government spending for abortions.
I have two grandparents in their 90s; and a grandmother-in-law who is in her 90s too.
I think geriantology has got to be an exploding and interesting field for doctors; I read recently that there is not too much data out there for doctors about medical problems of people in their 90s, as until very recently there weren’t enough people in their 90s alive to BE in studies. . .
White seniors decreased their participation in voting in the 2008 election cycle. It was one of the reasons why turnout was lower than in 2004. Obama’s proposal is a way of keeping them from voting permanently.
Pay into social security for a lifetime only to be told that you are expendable at age 65 or chronically ill.

I’ve sent emails to mine, but a phone call is effective too.
Better to just put the old babe in hospice and thus hasten the “maturing” of her estate tax liability. Save money by denying them care, gain money by killing them and confiscating their estates—oh the joy of 0bama’s America!
Obamacare wants to just move’em on out - like a giant SLAUGHTERHOUSE operation!
I hate to post this but hospice has undergone a big change in my area in the past 1-2 years. I do not understand it all but they now are hovering around Nursing Homes without me as the physician asking them to see my patients. Hospice used to be for terminal patients now they can recertify them every 6 months up to FIVE years. They have new criteria like adult failure to thrive with certain weight loss etc. I know the families thinkg “ Oh here is some free nursing care for mommma etc. and sign up “ They now contine running lab tests etc. cause these patients are NOT what I would consider terminal they are old and have chronic illnesses. I have argued with them but they are still on on patrol. BEWARE.

Dear Governor Perry,
On March 30, 2009 the Texas House of Representatives passed HCR 50 affirming that the State of Texas claims sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment.
You have publicly supported this bill, and stated that attorney generals from all over the union could be getting ready to sue the US Government.
We are asking you to take the lead.
We are asking you to order the Texas Attorney General to publicly begin working on a law suit under Article IV, Ninth, and Tenth Amendment of the Constitution.
We are asking you to protect the citizens of Texas that we will not stand for government controlled healthcare in our state.
Under your leadership we can effectively kill the proposal of this administration and allow Texas to be a state free from socialism and collectivism.
Be the voice of reason in the national debate and allow Texans the ability to solve the problems of our state.
Thank you,
(Signature Date)

From ‘Texans Against Government Controlled health Care’
http://www.notintexas.org/
To all Texas elected officials:
“Don’t Mess with Texas” has been a proud motto in the Lone Star State. Now with Government controlled socialized healthcare appearing inevitable, we say “NOT IN TEXAS!” We ask our elected officials to cite the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution as the reason why Texas rejects and will not accept the U.S. Government takeover of our healthcare system!
The 10th Amendment states: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
States’ rights, in the United States, is political doctrine advocating the strict limitation of the prerogatives of the federal government to those powers explicitly assigned to it in the Constitution of the United States, and reserving to the states all other powers not explicitly forbidden them. The doctrine of states’ rights has been the cause of bitter controversy at several periods in U.S. history.
The impending death of free market healthcare is an important issue that will again cause bitter controversy.
If the cause of defending our free market healthcare is a worthy cause, we in Texas must stand up and say: “NOT IN TEXAS”.
We in Texas will not stand idly by and allow the U.S. Federal Government to eliminate our free market healthcare system by incrementally changing and ultimately replacing it with a Government controlled socialized Healthcare system.
“NOT IN TEXAS”
Where are the Texas politicians?
The Alliance of Texans against Government Controlled Healthcare is insisting upon the immediate action of all Texas Politicians. Tell the U.S. Government: Government controlled healthcare may be adopted in other states, but…NOT IN TEXAS.
Tell the U.S. Government that Government Controlled Healthcare will never be allowed in Texas. Texans still believe in individual freedom and individual responsibility.
The saving of our free market healthcare system is one of the most important tasks ever to face Texas.
When are we going to hear Texas politicians saying: “The Government Controlled Socialized Healthcare stops at the Texas border!”
The Texas citizens are waiting to hear from you. We don’t have much time. President Obama wants a healthcare bill out by August 1st.
Tell the news media loud and clear: “NOT IN TEXAS”
We hope to see and hear your stand in the media in the next days to come.
P.S. Once Texas politicians make their stand, you will see other states standing up for State’s rights. Let the Lone Star state of Texas stand first.

Facts about the 10th Amendment:
The Tenth Amendment (Amendment X) of the United States Constitution, which is part of the Bill of Rights, was ratified on December 15, 1791. The Tenth Amendment restates the Constitution’s principle of Federalism by providing that powers not granted to the national government nor prohibited to the states are reserved to the states or the people.
Why Texans should fight National Healthcare:
When all of America’s top health insurers and providers met at the White House this week and pledged to save $2 trillion over the next decade in health costs, they were pledging to sabotage our medical care. The blunt truth, which everybody (the politicians and healthcare providers) agreed to keep quiet, is that the only way to reduce these costs is to ration healthcare, thereby destroying our system. http://www.notintexas.org/Front_4.htm
>Cutting Doctors’ fees will reduce access. Your doctor may not accept the government health plan. Congress is wanting to cut Medicare fees by 21 percent. Cuts in Medicare reimbursements will spill into the government health plan and ultimately limit the number of doctors and hospitals that will accept the government plan.
>Much like the HMO’s of the 80’s your doctor access will be restricted to the few doctors who will accept the socialized plan.
>Limiting the availability of doctors and hospitals will have many devastating effects. Most threatening are:
>Over crowding waiting rooms
Backlog of medical testing i.e. CAT scans, MRI, PET scans etc...
>Rationing of Health Care
>Reduction of quality college students choosing medicine as a profession.
>With our aging population, quality health care providers needed now more than ever.
>We can pay with our lives. The federal government want us to believe they can “mandate away” 2 trillion dollars of medical expenses. We have learned from our friends from the north (the Canadians), the best way to reduce cost is to ration care.
>Government bureaucrats will pour over data and decide what the best means of care will be for the largest number of patients.
If medical condition differs from the government guidelines, it will NOT be paid by the government.
Should your doctor(s) decide the government allowed treatment is not for you, your doctors hands will be tied. If you don’t have the financial means to pay for your treatment elsewhere, it could cost you your life.
In Canada, colonoscopies are rationed for colon cancer. Canada’s colon cancer rate is 25 percent higher than in the U.S. even though Canada’s population is smaller.
>We know from history, once a government program of this nature is passed, whether it is a total failure or not, it will NEVER be rescinded.
Solution:
Texans can reject, and refuse to pay for, the federal government health plan. Texas will attract the BEST trained, MOST experienced doctors (and upcoming doctors) in the country. Texas will be the envy of every state in the union.
The truth about government controlled healthcare:
Government healthcare is failing miserably in Massachusetts

Medicare - What is all the fuss about?
Medicare (and health insurance) is a political football. The aging baby boomers are currently contributing more tax dollars to the Medicare Trust Fund than they ever will again in our lifetime. In 2011, the first baby boomers will become eligible for Medicare, and many of them will retire, no longer contributing to the tax base.
Instead, they will become consumers of the Medicare system and begin to tap into the very funds they contributed to Medicare for more than 40 years. Within a few decades, we will suffer massive deficits caused by Medicare, Medicaid (welfare—long term care) and Social Security.
There is simply not a way to finance the Medicare system long term by raising taxes. Even if taxes were raised by 50 percent of the current rate, there still would not be enough money to fund the Medicare Part A Trust Fund for the long term.
The current Part A trust is expected to pay more than it takes in by 2019, and some are estimating this will begin to occur as early as 2016.
HCR 50 HAS PASSED THE HOUSE 99-36!
Affirming that the State of Texas claims sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the U.S. Constitution, serving notice to the federal government to cease and desist certain mandates, and providing that certain federal legislation be prohibited or repealed.
Take Action! Before it is too late!
