I just heard an anesthesiologist on FOX News say that the new Pelousy Health Care bill just passed contained a requirement that seniors will have gatekeepers that will control senior access to health care.
The rules don't apply to liberals anyway.
And the discarded remnants will become solyent green.
“Come; just walk through the gate.”
It will more than likely...”Grandma, the gate is closed on that stent, or that hip replacement. turn around an go home.”
Otherwise why have any gate at all?
I know you are being sarcastic.....right? LOL!
We don't have standing to ask Obama to prove he is a natural born citizen as required by our Constitution.
I did not hear this because I just got up. I’d call it age discrimination! This is the most horrible bill ever pushed upon the American citizens. Health care for all mean for all who are healthy and young only. Grrrr!
I want to know who is stupid enough - or desperate enough - to take the job. It’s not like there would be any long-term potential.
She even resists her body taking a healty natural aging path, being obsessed with stretching her face, let alone letting the darned thing die! Wait until she realizes that she is mortal like everybody else and not some ‘goddess’. A repulsive woman.
Whew! I was born in 1944.
They will have expiration dates on the elderly - like food products good until dates
Well...perhaps the rules could apply, but to libs, rules they don't like or choose to follow are just reasons to lie, obfuscate, spin, or ignore.
"No libs have ever run into a rule they couldn't ignore - unfortunately - with impunity."
In the 2008 election, we conservatives got exactly what we deserve. We're seeing the results of this right now.
If this happens again in 2010 and 2012, I'd suggest that conservatives no longer are relevant politically.
My husband is after me to get a hip replacement soon because he’s afraid once Pelousy care comes into effect, I’ll be told no.
I may be in pain, but I don’t believe I need one now. Maybe later, but that “later” looks to be age-restricted!
I have my another mailer from AARP suggesting I join. Don’t know who sold them my new address, but I will send it back with their postage paid envolope with a nasty note.
Conservatives never seem to grasp the audacity of liberal/Marxist thinking. With passage of this bill the liberal dream of population control is now within their grasp. With one piece of legislation they will now have the power to eliminate “useless eaters” by denying health services to the old, and the means to enforce abortion on a grand scale.
I so agree with you, wintertime. (sigh)
Funny that there has been almost no mention of the fact that current and new enrollees in Medicare Part B will be hit with a 15% raise in their out-of-pocket cost while no COLA will be forthcoming to offset what are being called ‘Anticipated increases in cost of care for future years.’
From $96.40/month to $110.50/month unless you are currently having the money already withheld.
New enrollees are automatically charged the higher amounts on their quarterly statements.

Yes, I heard about it. Betsy McCaughey had an article about it in yesterday's Wall Street Journal:
"What the Pelosi Health-Care Bill Really Says"
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704795604574519671055918380.html?mod=WSJ_hps_sections_opinion
"Sec. 1302 (pp. 672-692) moves Medicare from a fee-for-service payment system, in which patients choose which doctors to see and doctors are paid for each service they provide, toward what's called a 'medical home.'
"The medical home is this decade's version of HMO-restrictions on care. A primary-care provider manages access to costly specialists and diagnostic tests for a flat monthly fee. The bill specifies that patients may have to settle for a nurse practitioner rather than a physician as the primary-care provider. Medical homes begin with demonstration projects, but the HHS secretary is authorized to 'disseminate this approach rapidly on a national basis.'
"A December 2008 Congressional Budget Office report noted that 'medical homes' were likely to resemble the unpopular gatekeepers of 20 years ago if cost control was a priority."
well, duh... it’s been in the bill all along, both Dick Morris AND Sarah Palin have shouted it from the rooftops and no one listens.
That is not even close to an analogy.
When an individual is denied care based on AGE, DISABILTY, it is unconstitutional. PERIOD.
