The Baby Boomers and the not so Affordable Care Act (why we need those Soylent Green Death Panels)
The American Thinker ^ | 11/4/2013 | Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh

Posted on 11/04/2013 6:41:23 AM PST by Sioux-san

Why is it that we needed the Affordable Care Act? Was it because everybody was told inaccurately that Americans were dying in the streets untreated? If you ask Europeans and people from other continents that is exactly the perception they have about the United States.

They do not know that any American can walk sick into an emergency room and he/she will be treated immediately. They don’t have to wait weeks and months to have a doctor’s appointment, tests, and procedures before they are actually treated as is the case in all socialized medicine countries.

Why was it that ObamaCare had to have a 15-member “death panel” that rations care based on age and utility to society, a complicated formula that only a bureaucrat can devise, not a doctor who took a Hippocratic Oath to care for all sick, regardless of age?

Will a person past the age of 55 be able to receive expensive treatments such as chemotherapy for cancer? We do know that anyone over the age of 70 becomes a “unit,” they are no longer human beings.

Between 1946 and 1964, there were 76 million Americans born, the so-called Baby Boomers. Four million had died by April 1, 2000. However, the U.S. Census counted 79.6 million due to “net immigration, the number of people coming into the United States from other countries, minus those moving the other way, outweighing the number of deaths.”

In 2011, the oldest Baby Boomers turned 65 years old, eligible for Medicare and Social Security... Every year approximately 3.65 million Baby Boomers receive an average $1,500 in earned Social Security benefits for a total of $5,475,000,000... Each year until 2030, $5,475,000,000 will be needed additionally to meet just the Social Security outlays for Baby Boomers...

Since the government pays SS to people mostly over 65, it makes no sense to put health care in the hands of those who benefit by your death. Government rather you die sooner and collect less of your SS and then eat into your estate with that tax rather than bother having you around.

What person in America wants to go to Medical School????????? Why???? To become a slave to an imperial dictator who is Good At Killing People????????? Future care providers in America will be nurse practitioners. Need surgery??? Forget it. There aren’t any surgeons left. But we have this nice green pill you can take and your troubles will all be over!!! NEXT!

Grandpa, the good news is that there is a cure for your condition. The bad news is Barack Obama’s death panels declares you obsolete.

There’s actually a lot of upside to the Death Panels.
Every year sliced off the life expectancy is HUGE for SocSec and Medicare funding projections.
When the kiddies whine about Grandma’s premature passing, the regime will hand out student loan forgiveness coupons.

They DO, however, have to wait in line behind all the NON-AMERICAN invaders who got there ahead of them!

RE :”They do not know that any American can walk sick into an emergency room and he/she will be treated immediately.’

For free and the hospital gets stuck. Congress under Reagan stuck the hospitals with this.
Here in Maryland we have to pay a special tax for uninsured to reimburse the hospitals for this mandated freebee.

Slave labor.

Hope this bad idea doesnt spread.

My prediction is a slow leftist attitude adjustment by means of increasing monetary burden on the young until they are clamoring for older Americans to be put to death. Not just allowed to pass on but actively putting them away. Look for the government to start dropping hints, Hollywood to start adding it to more entertainment venues as a logical solution and perhaps even video games of extermination of the elderly with rewards of sex, or possessions of the elderly. May I be wrong. But I’ve correctly called it for about 30 years now.

It's been done:

Logan's Run is a 1976 sci-fi movie based on a book of the same name authored by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson.

The story depicts a dystopian future in which the population density and resource consumption are managed by the government.
Population limits are maintained through the simple process of killing everyone who reaches the age of thirty.

You are not at all wrong my FRiend. Our citizens, as they become subjects, have had all their values redefined by the public school system: killing the unborn for personal convenience, or to lighten the load on welfare, or “for the children” who might be abby normal, or whatever, is the right thing to do, being a sodomite is perfectly moral, socialism is good, capitalism is bad, being obviously an anti-constitutional communist is preferred, and can actually get you elected as President, etc. ad nauseum...
