No thanks Bozo I don’t want it. Communism sucks, it sucks now, it sucked in 1917 and it will always frickin’ suck. Anyone who believes communism could ever work had sh** for brains. JMO.

Ive tried, but haven’t generated much interest yet. Like they say, managing doctors is like herding cats!
But be assured there are plenty of us out there who are speaking out strongly against this kind of stuff, and will vote with our feet if necessary.
If Obamacare passes they will have to find physicians to run it - most I know are not willing to play.

the signed directive should say, “take all measures” and then have a seperate family member declared health care surrogate in the event of unconsciousness due to coma.

NEVER trust the hospital.

Remember Obama wants the same people who run the DMV to run your Medical decisions.

Obamacare=death by DMV.

If push comes to shove, there are going to be plenty of us who need a doctor that’s not within the system.

Maybe we can start a FReepercare network......

There were “ok” arguments when the gov took over car companies, since the gov. gave them so much money.

There were slightly plausible arguments when the gov took over the banks, because they wanted to add regulations to prevent another meltdown.

There are NO good arguments for letting the gov. control your healthcare. Say it’s a liberal in charge (far fetched, I know), then what? What decisions can they dictate? Free abortions? No priests allowed in hospitals to visit the sick and give last rights?

This may have been in the works for a while.

A friend heard a couple of Physical Therapists talking about centers like these and offices run by Nurse Practicioners, PAs and PTs with advanced degrees in the past couple of weeks.

The friend had brought up the math problem of the new 40-50 million people under 0b0z0 care, needing medical care with no new doctors.

He was informed that wouldn’t be a big problem as many of the people now being treated in MDs’s offices and hospitals could easily be handled by new treatment centers run by PHD RNs, PAS and PTS. That would free up MDs for more seriously sick patients (probably younger).

When my friend asked who would these centers hire to handle the elderly and those move from primary care, he was told that the SEIU was ready with trained personnel to do these jobs.

For more info re the scary SEIU check out this link: http://www.seiu.org/splash/ and their ad how their Change Works.

Then my friend heard that many insurance companies were financing studies re these options.

We need to Abort 0b0z0 Health Care, before it does late term abortions on those of us over age 60.

(Tort reform, overcrowded ERs, an overwhelming influx of illegals, to name a few

..most of them were lawyers, overcrowded ER's are congress's fault by not enforcing laws and in some cases hindering law enforcement, and three the liberal voting block...the stupidity factor...that isn't gonna change

The American Holocaust is expanding from mass murder of our innocent unborn to the mass murder of the elderly and handicapped.

You are absolutely right, sir.

Where was it- France, I think, several years ago, had 12,000 elderly die “from global warming induced heat waves” while in state-run nursing homes.

Bet it saved a pile of evidence-based medical cost!

My Mom lived in a Personal Care Home for about 18 months before she died. It was actually, overall, a good experience for her. She wound up having a lot more fun than she had been having living alone. There were problems, but on the whole it was good — far better than a nursing home.

I don’t believe anything these thug leftist progressive commos create will resemble that.

OTOH, the Nurse Practictioner degree is to be upgraded to a Doctoral level degree by 2015, so there really isn’t any reason for them not to be running these things, in my opinion.

OMG... can you say "death camps"???

Excerpt:

The House health-care reform bill proposes to decrease hospital visits by establishing a “medical home pilot program” for elderly and disabled Americans.

Such a medical home would not require a physician to be on the staff, and therefore could be run solely by nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Medical homes also would practice “evidence-based” medicine, which advocates only the use of medical treatments that are supported by effectiveness research...
