“Maybe if after I did that, I sent them back. They might finally stop sending this crap”
Never happen, i’ve been sending their garbage back to them with messages that wouldn’t be allowed here for over 20 years and it hasn’t even slowed their mailings down.
Anyone that belongs to them is either brain dead or a dedicated socialist.
I have no idea.
BTW I read Collins actually sent a letter to his constituents to "explain" her vote for this mess.
“...and what’s more, under this bill, Specter wouldn’t have been covered...”
My guess is that, as is the case with Social Security, the “Obama Care” available to our leaders will be different from what the rest of us get.

Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign and military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
Collins, Snowe and Specter just lost their reasons for being. If they couldn’t vote against this blatant BS, they are good for nothing. I don’t see them as being able to help the GOP any more for any reason when it counts. It’s the ultimate breakup.
Make your own coffee, and study reverse mortgages. All will be better.
AARP is the NYT for old people who have no brains. I’m sure it will actually end up encouraging their members along the lines of assisted euthenasia in the long term.

Great movie.
This would be a great movie to see as an updated remake.
I thought the same thing about "Psycho" and "Rollerball." BIG MISTAKE!!! Remaking old movies (classic or not) is like electing a leftist to office. You've done it before, you know the outcome in advance, so why are you doing it again? Or like finding the milk is going bad in the refrigerator: And putting it back in, thinking "maybe it will be better tomorrow."

Does this mean now, that we have a right to die?
I thought of the UK when I started reading this and sure enough, the author brought it up, too.
AARP is part of the socialist Borg.
I don’t understand the objections to computerizing medical records. The large multi disipline medical group I use went that way beginning about 5 years ago. The office visit and lab work is much smoother and the info is available for all. When I needed to go to an outside vision specialist for a medical condition, they had the records.
Records of a visit to a Doctor in Twin falls Idaho were available to my doctor in Tennessee. It is a good thing
She’s already sterile, or at least unable to conceive children naturally. That’s why the 14 children were conceived artificially and implanted. Without a massive, big-money, complicity “fertility” industry, she would have no children.
Thanks for the ping!
It was Soylent Green, and yes, it looks like it is becoming a reality.
The problem is not the computerization of medical records. There are good arguments for having them computerized (e.g., less time to get info needed to make life-saving decisions, error reduction, etc.).
The problem is the language in the bill, which appears to lay the framework for the Federal government interfering with our own doctors’ decisions with regard to our health care somewhere in the future, and possibly even health care rationing. The bill’s language is even more sinister when taken in conjunction with a book (”Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisi”) by former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-South Dakota), who came thisclose to being our Health and Human Services Secretary. Obama was going to give him the task of developing a national health care system.
Have you read this article? It outlines some of the language in the bill, gives page numbers, and ties it in with statements that Daschle made in his book. It shows the dangers inherent in the language of this bill:

Proponents argue that these are just “scare tactics”. My question is, if this language is so innocuous, why was it stuck in a so-called “stimulus” bill, at the beginning of President Obama’s term, with NO debate? Most members of Congress, when asked about it, didn’t even know it was there.
As McCaughey noted in her article:
“Hiding health legislation in a stimulus bill is intentional. Daschle supported the Clinton administration’s health-care overhaul in 1994, and attributed its failure to debate and delay. A year ago, Daschle wrote that the next president should act quickly before critics mount an opposition. ‘If that means attaching a health-care plan to the federal budget, so be it,’ he said. ‘The issue is too important to be stalled by Senate protocol.’”
“She’s already sterile”
I wonder if that’s so since she has claimed that she hasn’t had sex since her divorce and long before having her 1st implanted.
