Sen Roberts: Obamacare Bill includes the end of Medicare and TRICARE
CSPAN | 7/16/09

Posted on 07/16/2009 12:49:05 PM PDT by pabianice

Senator Pat Roberts on CSPAN-Senate channel now. Claims the Obamacare Bill ends both Medicare and TRICARE by making reimbursements so low that no doctor or hospital will be able to afford to provide it through a bill no one has had the time to read. Claims Obamacare will end ALL other health care options by also purposefully and maliciously undercutting all private plans. Pure Stalinist medicine.

It's clear why Obama and Pelosi are freaking-out and trying to get this passed before the end of July. If congresspeople go home and get an earful of their constituents' anger they'd never come back and vote for it.

Roberts: "Wake-up, seniors! Wake up, AARP! Wake up, National Hospital Association! This is your medical care and Obama is taking it away from you!"

OMG. I have TriCare Prime now. I have to go on Medicare Sept. 1. I am scheduled for surgery the first week of Sept. and was told that Medicare would be my prime ins. and Tricare secondary to pick up the rest. If I have neither, I will not get the knee replacement probably because I have heard that under the new program I will probably be thought of as "too old" for the surgery and considering I have other health problems might not be "worthy" according to Obama's plan.

I have been fighting this bill, but who can fight as fast as Obama can push. It is sickening. I wish that man would get a real grip on what bad he is doing to our country, our seniors, our businesses and our children. He is totally evil.

I am not sure I want AARP to wake up. I think they are against seniors not supporters of them.

AARP is just a left leaning money making commercial enterprise these days.

You need to go to the Planned Grandparenthood Clinic and just DIE. Sincerely, Obama

Amazingly some have yet to grasp this fact and I do mean fact. There is precisely zero chance that you are wrong about this.

That is exactly how I am feeling now. I have a call into my docs office to see if we can move surgery up within the next two weeks. I guess this is selfish. I am thinking of my own position. But I imagine there are millions like me right now, and of course, will be in the future. I am almost ashamed to be so riled up because of how this affects me personally, since the voters who supported Obama (the welfare class, et al) were only thinking of themselves and not the country as a whole. But, first this bill will affect seniors dramatically, then it will take our tax money to fund abortions and that means my money is used to murder babies!!!

Truly, I think Obama literally wants to kill off as many conservatives as possible through this bill. Certainly those who remember the Glory of what America was.

And he has also fooled the liberals who are pro-abortion and who stupidly supported him. Making it easier for them to kill their babies results in the possibility of fewer to oppose him in the future. Since most of us are white, Christian, and love America, he is doing away with us one way or another. That will leave an America he can control. The Black dependants on govt. programs who he has hoodwinked, the Muslims who live here or will come here and who hate America and to whom he has bowed, and the anti-American terrorists like Bill Ayers who have backed him.

. . . and turn over all of your Social Security money to the government.

Well, sort of. What you have described will not be America. What we now recognize as these United States of America won't be in existence then and will not deserve to be known as the United States of America. I don't know what it should be called but it certainly won't be the America we know and love.

No legislation moves that fast. You have time. Calm down - then go get a few thousand of your best buds and hit the street loudly in front of the Capital.

I doubt they could make any change that fast, or at least before the new FY begins on 1 October

But then, I always doubted that America would become a marxist collective in my lifetime

Roberts: "Wake-up, seniors! Wake up, AARP! Wake up, National Hospital Association! This is your medical care and Obama is taking it away from you!"

AARP, the National Hospital Association and the AMA have all been bought off -- their power and presence assured in "the new regime".

So, basically, it's up to the seniors. Obamacare will repeal Medicare.

Seniors need to understand that, from being the assured recipients of the finest medical care in the world, we'll go to being the ones who are denied care. Our care will be rationed so that the system can lavish its benefits on, e.g., illegal aliens.

Obama knows exactly what he's doing. He is re-making the country into a penniless one-party utopia -- a fate it deserves, in his mind -- where he holds supreme power.

Yes, and we all doubted we would have Obama as president. Good Lord what a mess this country is in now.
