ObamaCare rationing confirmed

You may remember that during the long debate prior to the enactment of ObamaCare socialized medicine, Democrat leaders sharply rejected claims that ObamaCare would lead to government rationing of medical care.

Howard Dean, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said last August on ABC, "Let me just say, A, there's no rationing in any of these bills, so we don't have to worry about that."

And President Barack Obama himself said at a rally in Pennsylvania that the real culprits for the rationing of care were health insurance companies: "The insurance companies continue to ration health care. ... That's the status quo in America, and it's a status quo that's unsustainable."

For me, I feel the rationing has begun. I went to my Internal Medicine Doctor the other day. I have excellent medical insurance, (PPO) but I pay a hefty price for it too. Plus, my premiums went up $1,200 for next year. Excellent health, until last week when I was told I had a small solid nodule on my kidney. The doctor or radiologist has no idea what it is. I want to get an opinion from a Urologist at Mayo in my area as to what it is, but my Internal Med doc says to wait three months, rescan and see how it looks. My Internal Medical doctor just put his entire office on the online computer patient system, and told me the protocol on the computer for my type of problem says to wait the three months and rescan. I'm thinking what good is it for me to be paying exorbitant premiums, and a very high deductable for a PPO, if eventually all patients regardless of what they have will be directed by a government HMO plan?

“Keep watching TV suckers and keep being brainwashed”

I believe I’m pretty involved in knowing and analyzing what is going on on a day-to-day basis in politics and our culture. A part of that is TV. I am not a sucker. Nor am I brainwashed. Watching TV doesn’t make all of us blooming idiots! The common denominator in being an idiot most often flows from being a liberal who would cheer on stealing other’s money because they can’t make it any other way!

[Frantzie]

Your money for cable and sat TV is paid to TV networks that support Obama and the left.

This is reality. The NFL, NBA, MBL and NCAA support Obama. Keep up the good work.

[battletank]

I know you cut your TV. And like any good sheeple, you want everyone else to be miserable. Too bad some of us are discerning enough to actually be able to form our own opinions.

I assume you don’t have children in public school. You don’t shop at any place that might have an employee with an obama button? You don’t drive anything owned by government motors. You don’t live in any district represented by a liberal. And the list goes on.

Right?

Feel free to do as you wish. Don’t expect other intelligent people to choose your fetish with TV. We conservatives are an intelligent group and can filter out debate topics to form our own opinions. Calling everyone brainwashed because they laugh at your demands is really quite juvenile.

As a disabled senior, I can tell you up close and personal what it means to be rationed to death.

I was just informed by my local welfare office that I was no longer qualified for a certain “benefit.” No explanation, except that I “no longer qualify.”

Nothing has changed in the last two years, except that my rent went up while my income stayed the same.

So I’m asking for a hearing to explain to me why I have been singled out for a cessation of benefits. If I didn’t know better, I’d think Harry Reid had a hand in it all....

[GOPJ]

Hmmm... wonder what a few families might do if their loved ones get rationed to death.

We'll know soon enough...

[rwfromkansas]

Anybody who reads the Michigan Hospital Association’s timeline of the bill (google it) sees numerous potential rationing items.

Interesting quote on the wall from one of the most prolific cold blooded murderers who personally killed (executed, murdered) over 1,000 people.

"A human life is worth more than all the gold of the wealthiest mean in the world."

Yep, definitely a man of conviction...

[Cacique]

mean= should be man (typo).

[Monkey Face]

But “mean” sounds so much more honest.

[maddog55]

Guess your a fan of Above Top Secret and all the other conspiracy websites.

Me watching a good football game or movie is funding the Obama Machine... I’ll be damned.. I’ll drink to that or does that support someone it shouldn’t?

[celtic gal]

Not all of us boomers voted for the commie.

Soprry you are too dumb to connect the dots especially when it is pretty obvious.
