Severin: Porkulus includes medical care rationing based upon person's age

Jay Severin is on now on WTKK-FM, in Boston.

Severin, a "recovering lawyer," claims that part of Porkulus includes rationing medical care by a formula based upon a patient's age. The older the patient, the further back in line a person stands for any treatment. The bill includes a National Healthcare Office and National Healthcare Coordinator (a WHAT?). ACORN's $4.1B remains in the bill. ACORN is the current iteration of the Black Panthers.

OH wow.. I know the Scripps Dr’s are good... thanks for the info, i have been trying to get my mom into scan for a while..

I have been wondering about that too.. I afraid that all of the healthcare workers(dr, nurses, hospital's insurance co) are going to become goverment employees. most likely lots more work for less money

“I afraid that all of the healthcare workers(dr, nurses, hospital’s insurance co) are going to become goverment employees. most likely lots more work for less money”

A good indication is when in the 70s my brother in law, a peditrition, had an English Doctor and his wife stay with us in Glendale when he had to go to a convention (government paid for).

He made so little, he rode a bicycle to work and they lived in a small apartment. They had to wash their clothes in the bathtub because their washing machine broke and they didn’t have the money to replace it.

Thanks for the heads up. I wonder if the Senators know this?

man that's bad.. I guess Canada is not much better.. I remember when I lived in northern Minnesota how the Canadians came down to hospitals for care they could not get in Canada cause they had to wait.. new a few Dr’s who came down to practice in the us..

You know, I had this thought....we've all played with the idea of going "John Galt." What if we unofficially started collecting lists of various FReepers by jobs, and started patronizing our own whenever possible?

I'd rather give my hard-earned coin to another FReeper.
