WASHINGTON — A group of parents who oppose President Barack Obama's plan for revamping health care said Tuesday it would lead to rationing for children with life-threatening disabilities. National advocates for the disabled immediately rejected the claim that echoed this summer's dispute over "death panels."
The parents voiced their concerns at a news conference in front of the U.S. Capitol that was hosted by two Republican lawmakers.

It might improve things for those children who aren’t aborted, allowed to die at birth, or “put down” later for the crime of not being perfect.
If...and that’s a BIG IF, they’re allowed to be born in the first place!
You can’t tell me that 0bamacare won’t (eventually, if it already doesn’t) include the counselling of pregnant mothers to abort should Baby (sorry, Fetus!) have an extra toe or something equally as innocuous...
‘Beginning of life’ AND ‘end of life’ is gonna be a b*tch under this socialist plan. Few will make it in or out alive. :(
Great minds...though yours is more succinct than mine, LOL! :)
I think I’m getting the flu. I don’t have time to fool around. :)
And Singer is one of Obama's advisers and inspirations.
I hope not! If so, send your Huz out to stock up on tissues, TP, aspirin and lots and lots of juices right now!
I HATE being sick. I get mad when I’m sick, LOL!
Is Easter Seals associated with the Catholic Church?
Well, all three of my daughters have just gotten over it. One nearly hit 104F. I’m not looking forward to it, the poor babies were whimpering in their sleep, and it lasts about five days.
I don’t have anyone to help, really, but my nice neighbor says she can run older two kids to the store if necessary.
