Obama Recess Appoints Rationing Advocate Donald Berwick to Medicare Post
Washington, DC -- President Barack Obama used a recess appointment today to name rationing advocate Donald Berwick to become the director of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The office oversees government health care programs and that worries pro-life advocates because Berwick has praised British programs that ration care.

Gonna have to redistribute care from paying customers to non paying customers.
Affirmative action comes to health care. White males go to end of the line. It is our duty to die. Celebrate diversity.
The healthcare bureaucracy will take on a life of its own, and with the deftness of the handling of the swine flu “crisis”, resources will be misallocated, wasted and squandered, and people will die.
Meaning no disrespect, but I thought this was supposed to be a news forum with lively and potentially controversial conversation betwen the forum members. All you’ve done is state what everyone with half a brain already knows. ;-)
And those that don’t have that many brain cells voted for “O” and love him no matter what he does (or doesn’t).
Do you double-post everything intentionally?
LOL...I wouldn’t be so harsh on him. I thought he actually did a great job of boiling it down to one sentence with only three commas.
Can’t argue with that!
Great Photoshop!
The list, ping
Rush just played an audio clip of a speech that Berwick gave in London celebrating the anniversary of Britain’s socialized medicine.
In his speech, Berwick said that income and wealth will have to be re-distributed from the “more fortunate” to the poor, since the poor tend to be sicker, according to Berwick. In other words, another communist, just like Obama.
The position is important because it will oversee implementation of the massive government-run health care plan that pro-life advocates say will foster rationing and also contains taxpayer funding of abortions.
Berwick is an outspoken admirer of the British National Health Service and its rationing arm, the National Institute for Clinical Effectiveness (NICE).
During a 2008 speech to British physicians, Berwick said “I am romantic about the National Health Service. I love it," and calling it “generous, hopeful, confident, joyous, and just.”

...Berwick has already admitted health care rationing is coming.
“It’s not a question of whether we will ration care,” the Obama nominee said in a magazine interview for Biotechnology Healthcare, “It is whether we will ration with our eyes open.”
Read the entire article... and spread the word to every "likely voter" you know.
God help us... :-(
STUPID F******S.
Maybe this will be the infamous “straw?” We can hope so.
It’s pretty obvious why Obama didn’t want to put this joker in front of a Senate confirmation panel.
But, but the libtard MSM media, as well as a host of lamearse Jack Squat idiot-riddens administration officials, denied there would be healthcare rationing with the passing of ObamaCare?
Hey, how many IDIOTS are there in the overall general American populace?! =.=
Yup. As Rush just said, the Obama Regime wanted to avoid the term "death panels" being brought up again, to remind the American people what IS coming soon to this formerly great, FREE country.
God help us all... Obama MUST NOT win in 2012.
So he’s in love with the British system. I hope he needs an MRI and has to wait 6 months for it like they do.
Some redundancies bear repeating, and it’s better to be redundant than remiss. ;)
