Make amends with your extended families, because we will survive this as clans, like the Robertsons’. Those without families will be at the mercy of the bureaucratic state.

LD,

Let’s see if we can discover just where the pivot man in this circle jerk resides. ObamaCare to be funded by stealing hundreds of millions from MediCare. Medicare, by default, has to slash reimbursement rates to all providers. Across the board cuts in programs and services. Hospitals “penalized” for re-admissions. What’s a person to do? Why this sure looks like a straight up death sentence to lots of people. Mission accomplished Barry. (and he has the balls to claim it’s working)

Just another battle in their "War on the Elderly." It all began with them pushing grandmas off the cliff in their wheelchairs.

Not only all the above, but WE PAY for Medicare via direct payroll taxes, twice as the employer also pays.

So where is the LOCK BOX?? Shifting money from a fund specifically taxed FOR MEDICARE and putting it ANYWHERE ELSE should be illegal. !!

The people getting needed home health care ALSO PAYED MEDICARE TAXES!

Trying to get people on Medicaid . . .

Robbing Peter to pay someone else . . .

etc.

The object here is to diminish the family so that all of us will be at the mercy of the state.

Medicare is actually one of the worst entitlement scams this country has ever seen. It's even worse than Social Security, since at least Social Security taxes (FICA) are capped every year at a certain income threshold. Medicare is headed for insolvency earlier than Social Security, too.

I knew the future of this country's fiscal stability was hopeless once we had Republicans criticizing the Obama administration for cutting Medicare. Let him cut Medicare, you morons. As a jug-eared half-black Democrat he can do these things and get away with them, while a Republican administration would be charged with crimes against humanity for doing the exact same thing.

Most of the population that is 65 or older is white.We have to kill them off faster so Oprah Winfrey can feel better about being black!Plus think of all the wonderful social programs for Valerie Jarret’s allies that can be funded from confiscatory estate taxes!

Best to get them out of their homes, away from their families, and into the death institutions. It will be easier to kill off larger numbers of them that way.

Stinking rotten evil these people are.

And don’t think every illegal alien minority anti-white scumball that votes for this isn’t in the tank for it either. They love it. It’s kill off old whitey so I can get mine club — what they don’t realize is that there will be nothing left for them either after this guy is gone.

I predict that some families will have to give it up to take grandma/grandpa in ...and in doing so, they will be financially devastated. The “solution” of taking them to the nursing homes will be a necessary evil.

I gotta say it, though ...millions of these older folks have voted Democrat their whole lives and stubbornly so for Obama.

"If thousands have to die to enrich the Democrat Party, so be it".

It's only fair. They're our moral and intellectual superiors, and know what's best for us, despite our pathetic mewling about wanting to decide for ourselves.

If it had been a Republican in the White House, the headlines would be “president slashes Medicare. Elderly to suffer”

But it’s a marxist. There will be no headlines.

When will the Americans who voted for this person get their heads out of their digestive tract exit aperture?

"So where is the LOCK BOX??"

I believe it is kept in an obscure office within the Federal Building located in Parkersburg, WV. A gift from the late Senator Robert C. Byrd. The gift that keeps on giving.

“cutting Medicare”

But he is not cutting Medicare to cut spending, but transferring the money from home health care to use for 0 care costs such as: making ads with guys in pjs and dancing in their underwear, to pay thousands of “navigators” who would not be needed at all if the law made any sense and could actually be implemented, to pay millions for non-working software, ad nauseum.

I.E. granny’s home care which is actually care! is used to pay for stuff that is NOT CARE, but shovelling money into leftist pockets.

Medicare comes from Medicare taxes, which granny, her kids, and grandkids all pay speficially for Medicare — not to be slushed over into the bottomless pit of zero care which provides NO NONE NADA actual care!
