Americans will soon be sneaking into Canada for medical treatment.
I would never practice like this, but if I did, I would supply each and every patient with a notarized document that stated, “In my medical opinion you should receive the following care:.......... Unfortunately, I am not allowed, by law, to give you those treatments.”
I worry about a death panel deciding life and death treatments based on a patient’s political affiliation.
There won’t be any hospice care if this crap isn’t repealed. Avastin is just the start of the very expensive cancer drugs to go. We will have to go back to treating ourselves like we did in the past few centuries.
To the elitist like my commie rep I am a useless person.
Never mind I donate time making adult bibs for a Alzheimer center, isolete covers for the premie unit, Valor quilts for the wounded, quilts for the Alpha Omega House for recovering addicted Vets, and for LeBoheuer Children’s hospital as part of the charity work my quilt guild does. Help hubby work the St Jude Marathon (ham radio operator)..freeze my buns off doing that one.
Which is why my doctor is retiring.
Since they will be tracking our financial activity that will be easy to find out..credit cards or checks tell who you gave to...like a politician or church.
HAHA! Best bumper sticker I’ve ever seen. :)
Even before the Obamacare bill, they put it in the so-called economic stimulus bill:
“..the panel already exists.
H.R. 1 (more commonly known as the Recovery and Reinvestment Act, even more commonly known as the Stimulus Bill and aptly dubbed the Porkulus Bill) contains a whopping $1.1 billion to fund the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research. The Council is the brain child of former Health and Human Services Secretary Nominee Tom Daschle. Before the Porkulus Bill passed, Betsy McCaughey, former Lieutenant governor of New York, wrote in detail about the Council’s purpose.
Daschle’s stated purpose (and therefore President Obama’s purpose) for creating the Council is to empower an unelected bureaucracy to make the hard decisions about health care rationing that elected politicians are politically unable to make. The end result is to slow costly medical advancement and consumption. Daschle argues that Americans ought to be more like Europeans who passively accept “hopeless diagnoses.”
McCaughey goes on to explain:
Daschle says health-care reform “will not be pain free.” Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them.
Who is on the Council? One of its most prominent members is none other than Dr. Death himself Ezekiel Emanuel. Dr. Emanuel’s views on care of the elderly should frighten anyone who is or ever plans on being old. He explains the logic behind his discriminatory views on elderly care as follows:
Unlike allocation by sex or race, allocation by age is not invidious discrimination; every person lives through different life stages rather than being a single age. Even if 25-year-olds receive priority over 65-year-olds, everyone who is 65 years now was previously 25 years.”

Tell everyone you know, particularly seniors, before they vote.
Then vote against all those who voted for Obamacare, and don’t forget they were EXEMPTED from Obamacare. They must think we’re stupid.
No “consensual spending” with your own doctor. Unfair!
Not only is the whole thing unfair, it’s unconstitutional on more than just 10th A principals....death panels are not part of the US Constitution.
You can’t upgrade things like cataract implant lens when on Medicare. I would have gladly paid the difference for a lens to correct my astigmatism when I had cataract surgery 6 weeks ago. Just like I had to pay for my RX custom orthotics for my shoes, because I’m not a diabetic, but have peripheral neuropathy in both legs and feet. They work, and worth every penny of the $315 I spent on them. IF you are a diabetic they pay for them.
“...it is war...it is the war of the Democrats against the Baby Boom...who have paid into and now are poised to reap the “benefits” of Social Security and Medicare...it is the war of those who created these fraudulent programs ...which have fleeced 45 years of taxes from the Baby Boom..and never intended to grant them the “benefits” they were conned into allowing to be withheld from their paychecks. It is a personal war...because by hastening them to their graves...they intend to fleece their descendants of their estates.”
This is one manifestation of the trillion-dollar looting of the Federal Treasury that We the People allowed happen...
