"Come; just walk through the gate."
They have to thin the herd somehow.

Could it be that Obama and Pelosi lied? No, that couldn’t be, they wouldn’t lie, would they? Would they?
Well, it appears that they were lying, in fact, every word out of their mouths is a lie and they think the American people are too stupid to figure it out.
I guess AARP missed this part of the monstrosity. Oh, wait, they didn’t read it either. In the early summer, Pelosi proclaimed that ‘Americans over 55 use entirely too much of our health care resources’. Don’t bother to look for it, it has been scrubbed. My recollection is that it was on the Steffi Sunday Show. SHE won’t have to live under the rules the rest of us will be shackled by.
So with everything else...In other words, someone who is considered elderly (like to see the chart on that idea) will have to basically be pre-screened, and ask permission to get medical care in this new reformed Healthcare system???
Way to go AARP...Should we just go ahead and give you the gun to shoot yourself in the foot with???
Great endorsement!!!
asshats...
You get what you voted for and endorse...hehehe
The elderly healthcare provided has been decided it is called let them die. That is how Dems treat the elderly. Do you wonder how they will treat conservatives? Probably use us for parts!!!
"Come; just walk through the gate."
From the glass is half full [or making lemonade from lemons] point of view, this is actually one of the benefits of having the bill pass [at this preliminary stage]: It puts the Democrats on record as to what they really believe, for all the world to see.
Obamacare is so evil that it makes "Midnight Basketball" look like a Bugs Bunny/Road Runner cartoon.
To be honest, I have a couple of elderly relatives who are royal pains in the butt — plus they stopped sending me Christmas checks decades ago. Cut back on their meds and skip a few “unnecessary” procedures and who knows? We could save at least $20,000 in Social Security benefits alone and free up three nursing home beds.
By the way, the plan also replaces MDs for hospice patients with PAs.
That means that all those old people born between 1945 to 1965 are in deep do do!! O bummer boomers!
Well guess what...
1) They will have to revoke the Americans with disabilities act.
2) Fight one hell of a discrimination class action lawsuit.
3) Not being able to pay for it will not fly.
4) The are promising “health care for all”.
Now they better provide it.
Anyone that thinks this monster is going to survive the millions of court challenges is not paying attention.
5) Death Panels are UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
6) Massive taxes and jail penalties will not stand.
As I understand it, they will be chihuahuas with an overblown sense of importance.
Our only hope is that we can turn the Senate away from the cliff.
Yes, I heard that. I can’t wait to see how this all plays out. Isn’t it lovely?
AARP has always been ‘leftish’, that they support this ‘health care bill’ is no surprise.
But the AMA...it just knocks my socks off. Physicians I know personally have resigned their membership from the AMA.
I did not hear this because I just got up. I’d call it age discrimination! This is the most horrible bill ever pushed upon the American citizens. Health care for all mean for all who are healthy and young only. Grrrr!
I want to know who is stupid enough - or desperate enough - to take the job. It’s not like there would be any long-term potential.
They will have expiration dates on the elderly - like food products good until dates
Conservatives never seem to grasp the audacity of liberal/Marxist thinking. With passage of this bill the liberal dream of population control is now within their grasp. With one piece of legislation they will now have the power to eliminate “useless eaters” by denying health services to the old, and the means to enforce abortion on a grand scale.
Yes, I heard about it. Betsy McCaughey had an article about it in yesterday's Wall Street Journal:
"What the Pelosi Health-Care Bill Really Says"

"Sec. 1302 (pp. 672-692) moves Medicare from a fee-for-service payment system, in which patients choose which doctors to see and doctors are paid for each service they provide, toward what's called a 'medical home.'
"The medical home is this decade's version of HMO-restrictions on care. A primary-care provider manages access to costly specialists and diagnostic tests for a flat monthly fee. The bill specifies that patients may have to settle for a nurse practitioner rather than a physician as the primary-care provider. Medical homes begin with demonstration projects, but the HHS secretary is authorized to 'disseminate this approach rapidly on a national basis.'
"A December 2008 Congressional Budget Office report noted that 'medical homes' were likely to resemble the unpopular gatekeepers of 20 years ago if cost control was a priority."
