Thanks Barack… Thanks Pelosi… Thanks Dems… Look what we have to look forward to – death panels. Great Britain is looking to cut billions from their broken nationalized health care system by cutting millions of operations. Of course, the elderly will be hardest hit. The Daily Mail reported:

Millions of patients face losing NHS care as bosses prepare to axe treatments to make £20billion of savings by 2014, a top doctor has warned.

Among procedures being targeted by health trusts are hernias, joint replacements, ear and nose procedures, varicose veins and cataract surgery.

Obie can’t even wait until the law is fully in effect to try to inflict its wonders on us - he’s nominating to head up the Medicare/Medicaid programs some physician who literally says he “loves the British health care system” - sick, sick, sick.....

Thanks to all the anus orifices that voted for the Leftists, and Commie O-bomb-y.

Shows how far the Left has succeeded in dumbing down the populace of this Nation.

and an equally well deserved thanks to the other anus orifices that voted for the three similar socialists fronting the republican primaries, and the anus orifices that voted for the republican socialist nominee because conservative independants "couldn't win".

On the other hand, sudden socialism as opposed to rapidly creeping socialism has woken much of the populace. McCain has always been headed to this same place, just at a slower pace.

Hussein’s nominee to head Medicare is a British National Health Employee who worships rationing.

In fact, he was probabaly involved in the creation of the NHS policies outlined in this horror story report.

47% of American seniors (60 and over) voted for this
49% of Baby Boomers (45 to 59) also voted to die early.

They will also be robbed and looted by Obama’s taxes cause Obama wants their retirement money.

“Leftists” covers them all. “Leftists” includes the RINO’s. The designation “Leftists” does not differenciate between the Political Parties.

Leftist A-Holes are “Leftists” no matter.

Thanks for your response. Agree.

Forget comparing it to our Medicare. You don’t have to be 65 to be on NHS.

Of course we seniors are going to be the hardest impacted. You can’t CUT & GUT Medicare by more than half a TRILLION and not impact us.
