Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, brother of the chief of staff and a key advisor to President Obama is the author of the "Complete Lives System" which has become an issue in the discussion of the Democrats' health care reform. It has been interpreted as refusing to allocate medical resources to the elderly, the infirm, and the disabled.

Obama will run out and have another staged townhall meeting to lie about this in 3...2...1...,

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel supports the denial of medical care to the elderly and to the disabled.
Dr. Emanuel is a member of the Obama Administration.
Dr. Emanuel is the Brother of Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
Dr. Emanuel is the primary advisor, to the Obama Administration, on health “reform” issues.
Dr. Emanuel has written about the “Complete Lives System” as the basis to ration health care. “A young person with a poor prognosis has had few life-years but lacks the potential to live a complete life. Considering prognosis forestalls the concern that disproportionately large amounts of resources will be directed to young people with poor prognosis.” Dr. Emanuel further says that his proposed system, “produces a priority curve on which individuals aged between roughly 15 and 40 years old get the most substantial chance, whereas the youngest and oldest people get chances that are attenuated.”
“People are policy” is always the rule, in any Administration. Dr. Emanuel’s position is the official position of the Obama administration, even if they are trying to hide that fact from us.
Wichita has a strong history of support for disabled children. The Special Needs support in the Wichita Public Schools is remarkable. In addition, we have a proud history of private, charitable support for the disabled. Heartspring, Rainbows United, Kansas Elks Training Center, Starkey, and so many other organizations and individuals form a support base in Wichita that is so strong, so compassionate and so vital to the care of our disabled children, that few other communities can compete with Wichita on this issue.
If you have a disabled child in your family, Wichita is where you want to live!
Therefore, the compassionate example of Wichita, when it comes to disabled children, should serve as the standard for how we, as a country, care for those who are weak, mentally retarded, autistic, have MS or MD or any of the other maladies that so many of us have dealt with.
Our children and grandchildren, as well as our parents, DESERVE to have heart surgery or other vital treatments, regardless of age and regardless of other ailments or disabilities.
House Bill 3200, in the United States Congress, will restrict such vital, life saving services, for those under 15 or over 40 years old. That bill will also prohibit us from paying, out of our own pockets, for many life saving services. If a government bureaucrat decides that the life of our loved ones does not have enough “value” on their eugenics, Malthusian-based scale, we are prohibited from treating that person!
One other thing to ponder: Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius, and any of her successors, and any government employees under their direction, will be exempt from any court challenge on the denial of care. The decision of the health Czars, or the “death Panels” as Sarah Palin aptly calls them, are final. Only a joint act of Congress can over-rule a decision of the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, for instance. The same will be true for any “denial of care” decision from our government if this horrible Bill ever becomes law.
“Comparative Effectiveness Research” is a euphemism, or code, for rationing. The term is used frequently, by the politicians in Washington. President Obama uses the term rather frequently.
There are many reasons to oppose House Bill 3200. Try to prove me wrong, on the points I have listed, READ THE BILL!
Please, Wichita, do yourself proud: Read this bill, and rise to the proud advocacy tradition that Wichita has always taken, on behalf of the disabled!
Sincerely;
Paul F. Rosell

“Obama will run out and have another staged townhall meeting to lie about this in 3...2...1...”
Nope, the Kenyan has retreated to Martha’s Vinyard to vacation among the liberal elite.
The Kenyan has handed us another opportunity to paint him as an elitist.
Dr Death Emanuel was seen in a recent video posted on FR.
He was on a panel that was supposed to asnwer questions.
Dr. Death made a statement that he was against Euthanasia,
but then promptly got up from the meeting to avoid taking any questions and left the building.
He is now said to be on vacation in Italy... far away from reporters.
Obama is an elitist who acts and speaks stupidly.
Bumpage
Obama is a Chicago thug who acts and speaks stupidly.
Sarah brought this “Complete Lives” Dr. (Mengele) Emmanual scheme up on her 2nd facebook column. She keeps hitting them where it hurts.
