Health Care On The Wish List

My worst fears about national health care have now been realized.

[Roos_Girl]

We would provide coverage for millions more people, preserve or improve existing benefits and in the process reduce the cost of health care.

Kosmas makes Jesus, with his loaves and fishes, look like an amateur.

So how would we pull off this miracle?

Drum roll please: We would cut waste, fraud and abuse.

Yeah, she tried telling me this nonsense on the phone and my response was "So you want me to believe that we're going to save money by spending more money?!"

[LOC1]

If we could save money by reducing waste, fraud and abuse, why don’t we just do that now? The answer is, it would reduce benefits, and the administration does not want that displayed.

Rep. Suzanne Kosmas is just one of the 435 reasons why 57% of the American people want to throw everyone out of Congress. Sadly she is not alone in her inability to grasp what is happening to our country and Congressional leadership is even worse.

While our republic sinks in a sea of debt that enriches no one except the Chinese, Congress continues in its orgy of spending lead by members who actually believe they can spend their way to economic recovery. We need a total housecleaning in Congress including Republicans who share this idiocy.

My 8 y/o has more economic sense in her little finger than the ENTIRE HolyO cabinet!!! Sheesh. Even kids know, YOU CAN'T SPEND WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE IN YOUR PIGGYBANK UNLESS YOU PUT MORE MONEY IN THE PIGGYBANK BY WORKING OR DOING CHORES AND STUFF.

Or STEALING it from people, i.e. TAXES. >:-(

2010/2012 can't come soon enough for me!!!

I think cut waste and reduce waste are code words for rationing health care.

If the dems pass this bill, this administration and any future administration could refuse life saving treatment to anyone that they claim who’s care is too costly and that should terrify every American citizen.

It’s not just about the elderly and disabled that they seem to want to push toward a quicker death. But what if the panel of experts that chooses who is denied care in some future administration, is filled with people who are truly racist? Blacks could suddenly be denied life saving treatment because they suffer a higher rate of heart trouble, diabetes and strokes then whites. And they suffer from chicle cell anemia and these things need expensive care. Those who need life saving care could be written off as too costly and be denied care. And we would all know it was because of their skin color but we couldn’t do anything.

What if in some new administration there are some on the panel of experts who hate gay’s? They could use their position to deny life saving treatment but claim it’s because of expense. And even if we all knew it was really because the people were gay, we couldn’t do anything.

Or what if the panel became tilted to one side with those who hate Christians, or Jews, or Muslims? And even if we all knew they were denied life saving treatment because of their religion we couldn’t do anything.

I know, obama and his minions claim there will be no rationing. But they’ve told so many lies it would be foolhardy to believe them now.
