Severin: Porkulus includes medical care rationing based upon person's age
WTKK-FM | 2/9/09 | Severin

Posted on 02/09/2009 12:32:36 PM PST by pabianice

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, but Granny Pelosi or Clinton will have great healthcare whenever they want it. Some are more VALUABLE than others.

Have you ever watched the movie or read the book, "Logan's Run"?

From Wikipedia:

Logan's Run is a 1976 science fiction film based on the novel of the same name by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson. It depicts a utopian future society in which population and the consumption of resources are managed and maintained in equilibrium by the simple expediency of killing everyone who reaches the age of thirty, thus avoiding the issue of overpopulation. The story follows the actions of Logan 5, a "Sandman," as he "runs" from society's lethal demand.

I feel my retirement and that little quilt shop coming at me sooner than I thought. And just when my 401 K is practically worthless. Thanks oBAMA

Here is the video depicting what the messiah's health plans portends for those too old for scarce health care money.

Most older folks do not run to the doctor all the time. The ones that do I find it is out of lonliness, not fear of death

Pretty soon they will just knock off the old people. They’re too old and sick to vote anyway will be the rationale.

I'm old, but thank God I'm in pretty good health. I can't think of a better reason to go on living than to see these bastards driven out of government.

Is this just for the Medicare program? I assume they dont intend to ration medical care under private policies, as that would deny them care in their old age, and we all know that the RAT elite considers itself entitled to whatever it wants for as long as it wants.

Silly Freeper! This applies to ALL medical care, since all hospitals accept government money. Not Congress, of course. They have their own special plan.

At the risk of sounding tinfoilish, I am very concerned about the big medical records push. Even Newt is behind it but he has a commercial reason. The messiah is pushing it because he says it will solve all the cost problems - as if insurance companies and the guberment haven’t been trying to squeeze every penny of cost out that they can. Sorry, I don’t buy it. A physician’s access to current medical history cannot be that much of a cost factor. However, centralized control and access to all your health information including your history is a prerequisite for rationing and risk-based healthcare decisions. Something pretty sinister is going down here, right before our eyes.

I saw that movie, I didn’t know the name. You were given colors, green (young), yellow (middle aged), red (report to the auditorium to get killed, only it wasn’t ‘being killed’, it was doing your duty for the benefit of society, some ‘god’)

They'll just call it REALLY late term abortion.

Wait until ALL healthcare professionals ( doctors, nurses, lab workers, therapists etc.) realize their pay grade will be Government MANDATED!

No more rich doctors, we'll get the bottom of the barrel for treatment from people who barely pass med school!

But, at my age, I might as well just kill myself now!

I’m sorry for you. My sis is a doc and facing the same prospect.

I cannot believe this is happening in our great country. I just talked to my parents who heard about this on Rush and they are afraid. Dem lore goes that Republicans want grammy to eat cat food, but actually dems just want her to die and get out of the way (of course that doesn’t apply to all the old, senile and infirm roaming the halls of Congress who are bound and determined to destroy this country before they croak).

AARP will probably do their best to somehow rationalize “The Path to Soylent Green”.

Hey, free IMAX cinema tickets!! And such *comfy* reclining seats!

Cue the Tchaikovsky...

Can someone confirm this? where in the bill is this?

From this thread: Ted Kennedy's Health Care To Be Rationed? (Vanity),

As discussed by Rush and others, embedded in the "stimulus" bill is a creation of the "Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research" which would essentially be empowered to ration treatments based on factors such as life expectancy and cost effectiveness which would result in medical dollars for older patients being denied and transferred for the use of younger, "still productive" patients.
