Kind of like a kubler ross death house?

You mean like this "scary" piece and video?

What's the Pres_ _ent gonna call his HorrorbamaCare 'homes'? Treblinka Arms? Auschwitz Manor? Kervorkian Kastle?

[note: removed the letters 'I' and 'D' from 'President' since we've seen none from Comrade 0bama, so guess that means that he's just 'present']

Well I'm thinking it will be something like 'Hopeful Harmonies' or 'Charitable Changes', or something referring to "Youth In Asia"... ;)

[leilani]

or something referring to "Youth In Asia"..

Hey, if he decides on that one he can kill two birds with one stone: he can honor his childhood SE-asian homeland and knock off all our grannies with one Executive Order!

He did promise to make government more efficient! ;-)

You know, if that wasn’t so close to the bloody truth, it would be funny.

Like the two Jews waiting their turn to walk into the Nazi gas ovens, one says “let’s look on the bright side” and the other one says “BRIGHT side? what BRIGHT side? We’re about to DIE!” and the first Jew says “we won’t have to eat that awful slop they’ve been serving us anymore!”

If Medicaid would cover home care, many of these poor folks could be at home with loved ones and nurses and aids coming in to help care for them.

But they don't and many families do not have the resources (money and time and a super human abundance of patience) for grownups who need partial or complete help in feeding themselves, bathing themselves, toileting themselves, ambulating, putting their clothes on, taking the medicine correctly, and, in the case of dementia, making sure they don't wander off, light a fire, flood the house, or pee or poop on the floor and then play in it. (Yes, they will play in poop like infants. And once it dries, you need a paint scraper to get it off furniture and floors.)

Personal care homes are limited as to who they can house. The more chronic and helpless the elderly become, then the family is told that the PC homes do not have the resources to care for them. These homes are "tweeners" - they can watch over your loved ones, help them get their medication properly and even deal with some who have slight dementia.

They have a scale that they use to be able to evaluate who can live at their homes. Once your loved ones goes outside of their criteria, they can't care for them anymore. It may have to do with State laws and regulations and what kind of liability they want to be saddled with.

Also, no medicaid can be used for payment at a personal care home. The resident pays from his or her savings and assets. That also determines whether they can live there or not. No savings, then they go to a nursing home.

They are following the Nazi Socialist plan like Hitler did. Establish “care centers” for the undesirables among us and then the “patients” all “die” of “natural causes” within a year of commitment. They’re trying to tear up the constitution and take out all who might object one way or the other.

On page 425 it says in black and white that EVERYONE on Social Security, (will include all Senior Citizens and SSI people) will go to MANDATORY counseling every 5 years to learn and to choose from ways to end your suffering (and your life). Health care will be denied based on age. 500 Billion will be cut from Seniors healthcare. The only way for that to happen is to drastically cut health care, the oldest and the sickest will be cut first. Paying for your own care will not be an option.

Complete with Dr Mengele wannabees.

There. Fixed it.

New and improved, no medical training required!

Soylent Green?
Do they at least play Beethoven’s Sixth Symphony?

[Sparko]

I understand what you are saying regarding patience and resources. But if Medicaid were to cover home care, as you suggest, I suspect many would opt for home care care for their older family members at least initially.

I've started referring to it as Solvent green. (See my tagline....)
