If the United States gets socialized medicine, forced euthanasia will become the norm.

Not to worry........it’s just the first step to “Health Care Rationing”. This should tell you where they’re heading.

Why can’t they supplement their insurance? Well I know the reason but what is the nazis proclamation on this? I’m sorry I’m not ever going to use the word democrat again. Minus the uniforms and goose stepping that is exactly what they are.

The National Right to Life considers government-imposed denial of lifesaving medical care a form of involuntary euthanasia.
***I can see that. What I can’t see is why seniors aren’t allowed to supplement their care. It doesn’t make sense.

“by refusing to allow seniors to supplement their health care.”
Beyond shocking.
I heard that’s what they do/did in Canada.

Maybe they don’t want sick seniors to live.

wow, what a story... socialized medicine is on the way and social conservatives, at least these ones, appear to be helping it right along.

"...socialized medicine is on the way and social conservatives, at least these ones, appear to be helping it right along." Puzzled. Please explain what you mean. Do you mean the NLRC is supporting socialized medicine?

well, unless I’m reading this story wrong, the NLRC are opposing cuts/reductions in Medicare, a socialized medical program.

"In order to protect senior citizens lives, we must ensure their right to get unrationed medical care under Medicare," NRLC says. "We must not prohibit older Americans from adding their own money, if they wish, to get unrationed insurance which only the private fee-for-service alternative gives them."

I think they’re supporting seniors’ right to purchase their own medical services with their own money.

Social conservatives are nothing more than democrats from the 60’s.

Social conservatives are nothing more than democrats from the 60s. I'm a social conservative and I supported Goldwater/Miller in the 60's. Never been a Democrat.

There are two glaring inaccuracies in this article:
--No one is "forced" to participate in Medicare. When a person has received Social Security or Social Security Disability for 2 years, they then have the *option* to receive Medicare. If you don't want it, you can opt out.
--No one is prevented from supplementing their Medicare coverage with other insurance. You just have to indicate whether Medicare or the supplemental coverage is to be your primary payer.
At least this was the case when I began receiving Medicare a few years ago. For several years I had Medicare plus insurance through my wife's work. This article seems to be all shook up over nothing.
