Covertly slipped into GL Obama’s faux “stimulus bill” last weekend—by leftist Democrats—was the Socialist Universal Healthcare program. Contained within the bill is the provision that doctors will now be forced to report any and all of their patient treatments to the federal government for approval to treat. Also contained within this portion of Obama’s non-stimulus bill is the rationing of healthcare services to senior US citizens and the withholding of potentially life-saving measures. As Democrat Tom Daschle wrote in his book “Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis” senior citizens “should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age.” Daschle does not appear to believe that senior citizens (apparently the government’s definition of “senior citizen” is not defined) that seniors should accept their inevitable deaths without complaining. That is, senior citizens who are not members of the elite ruling class. Daschle’s medical conditions, of course, would not be applicable to these provisions.

It is to bad that the old geezers who voted for this a-hole don’t know this. The MSM sure is not going to tell.
Bye, bye, Sheets!!
This will not affect him. Congressmen have their own health care plan.
Where is the AMA and their powerful lobby on this issue?
So, what is the age at which the Feds will no longer allow health care treatments - I’m approaching 50 fast and would like to take care of all my health care needs before I now longer can receive any treatment.
Socialist Universal Healthcare program free surery how good can the doctors be?see Canada,England,Italy no thanks.
What’s really scary; these guys aren’t reading the bills; yet they are voting for them.
I know. Thanks.
If someone doesn’t challenge this in court, I will be surprised. I’ll be 61 in April, so I guess I would fit into that category of Sr. citizen. I feel pretty good right now, but who knows what tomorrow will bring?
Isn’t this a violation of privacy between a doctor and the patient? And my understanding is that they will put our medical records into a computerized database tht the govt. will have access to. How will they obtain these records? Are they forcing Drs. to turn over patients’ records for this purpose? This has to be unconstitutional. I hope someone challenges this.
My husband and I are almost 61. I don’t take any meds but hubby does. We are going to start saving meds that he can’t use, that we used to dispose of. Heart meds, stomach, antibiotics, pain medication, etc. I told him we may have to treat ouselves in the future. Now is the time to stock up on prescription meds and OTC medicine.
Just where is that great lobbyist for senior citizens, AARP? All I hear is the chirp, chirp, chirp of crickets.
Everybody who voted for this fraud wanted free stuff. Now they will get free deaths. May they enjoy the benefit.
The problem, though, is that meds have expiration dates - not sure how to deal with that issue.
True but most meds are ok way past their expiration date. The way I look at it, they would be better than nothing if worse came to worse.
Wait a minute. I thought Republicans wanted to kill off the elderly and raid their SS checks? The Dems wouldn’t lie to me would they?
Looks like they found a way to eliminate a generation of baby boomers that stand in their way of completely destroying America.
