For years our military has been in search of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs) in Iraq and Afghanistan, and our intelligence agencies have also been scouring the world to unearth these threats.
The heart and core of their plan is based on the most inhumane and unethical means of cutting costs: the rationing and denying of care. Even worse, the death panels that will ration and deny care, according to the Obama-Pelosi-Reid plan, will be unelected and unaccountable Federal bureaucrats.
On Sunday, November 22, Fox News Sunday interviewed Senator Arlen Specter, who was a Democrat before he was Republican before he was a Democrat. Senator Specter let the "secret agenda" of Obama-Pelosi-Reid slip.
When questioned on the fact that the Senate Bill cuts $500 Billion in Medicare spending over ten years, yet in ten years there will be 30 percent more people in Medicare, Senator Specter stumbled. He admitted that Congress has never cut Medicare benefits in its history and then confessed, "This Bill has a provision, a cure, in how we can cut Medicare: a Commission."
That's right, a non-elected Commission will be appointed by The President. Sarah Palin accurately desribed it as a "death panel." Starting in 2015, this Commission will oversee Medicare and its expenditures, but this Commission will not be accountable to or recallable by the electorate. Initially, the Commission will oversee cuts to Medicare Advantage, the same program that services 10 million Seniors.
Using this type of panel to make such cuts, when it is not accountable to or elected by the public, is like bombing an enemy from 40,000 feet. Destruction occurs, but you don't see their faces. By 2019, all limits are off, and every American can become the target of the carpet bombing.

I thought 0bama was supposed to heal everybody. What the hell do we need the bill for anyway?
The democrat party = mass murder of vast millions of defenseless, innocent Americans through abortion and de facto state mandated euthanasia.
One exception: the democrats personal five star platinum (taxpayer funded) health insurance policies.
Payback hurts.
The medical profession surrendered its integrity when it abandoned the Hippocratic Oath, thereby confessing its mercenary nature to the world. Doctors are now ready, for a fee, to heal. Ready for a fee, to kill.
The AMA was originally founded to run abortionists out of business. Then, it decided there was more money in embracing the practitioners of that grisly trade, and shit-canned a moral legacy more than 2,000 years old.
I read somewhere that only around 25% of the doctors belong to AMA.
That is great!!!
Practicing Doctors make up 15% of the AMA.
Anyone know exactly the terms of health insurance policies held by Congress? I heard one congressman say that he chose the "gold-plated" policy, but he had to pay for it; a caller to a talk show (sorry, no better source) claimed Congress pays about $500 a year for health insurance. I'm sure I've never heard of a claim submitted by a congresscritter rejected by the health insurer.
Years ago, in school, I temped for a summer at Blue Cross in Special Accounts -- those accounts that were big enough (and, I assume, rich enough to pay for it) to have policies custom-made for them, as opposed to the off-the-rack choices available to smaller companies. I'm guessing Congress has this sort of arrangement: Services Covered -- Everything! Co-pay -- none! But I don't know for sure.
I have heard that only 17% of U.S. physicians are members of the AMA — and that was before this past summer. I have heard of physicians (don’t know how many) resigning their memberships with the AMA in protest of its promotion and endoresement of ObamaCare.
Most docs even who do belong to AMA donn’t care much for it. They care about their specialty societies.
I have heard that Fed ee’s get to choose from a cafeteria of plans....what they have for deductibles, etc...not sure....although I do think there are also doctors offices IN the Capitol bldg that take care of any little thing that MIGHT come up .... probably without charge
