“Right now the death panel talking points are popular here because :1) democrats use similar lines to get seniors votes, 2) seniors probably dont trust Obama especially now 3) it’s politically expedient at this time.”
Those three points don’t include me. I’m against the government being involved with making my health decisions. To achieve this, we must make sure the goverment is not involved in paying for it, because as soon as they do they’ll feel it’s their money that they’re spending so they can dictate pretty much anything that might impact your health including the food you eat, how much you eat, what you drink, what you inhale, the level of risk in your activities, etc, etc endlessly.
I was talking specifically about seniors already dependent on medicare and medicaid that many freepers here want to work up on the idea of cuts in the program being 'death panels' for them. They are actually promoting endlessly expanded socialized medicine for political expediency and calling it the truth. But in other posts many will claim they are for cuts in social spending and medicare deficits are democrats deficits. One freeper defending F-22 against cuts pinged me with "Trillions wasted in defense but not a penny for welfare".
Neil Cavuto was poo-poo-ing the ‘death panels’ talking points yesterday pointing out that health care is already rationed , and already rationed by the government and the insurance companies. So is this argument that Obama is trading one set of death panels for another? He Pointed out it was not helpful(Cavuto, another sane person) .
Cavuto also had angry democrats who went to a town hall meeting they said was staged by pro-reformers, and they claimed that the democrats hired someone with a 'Obama is Hitler' sign to make anti-reformers look crazy.
