I was listening to a local "For Seniors" talk radio program on my way to work this week. I have no idea why but it sounded interesting when I scanned by so I stopped. Not a political talk show.
They had a guest on from some local seniors advocacy group. She was telling the audience all about what was in the bill. Just floored me with this one bit of information.
In the bill, Medicare bureaucrats in DC will now be making decisions about what is, and is not, "an effective treatment".
So after two decades of non stop demagoguery by the progressive leadership of the Democrat party about how they were "going to stop insurance companies from getting between you and your Doctor" the Democrats just turned around and put the Government between patients and Doctors instead.
And just WHERE was "the people's watchdogs" the so called "News Media" while this absurd disaster was being planned and voted on in Congress?
This makes it utterly laughable that Davy and the rest of the Obama PR media, mindlessly regurgitating the latest DNC talking point, actually think this disaster will get MORE popular the more people learn about it.
I supposed that is technically possible but it would be the 1st time in Modern US politics something came out of DC that got MORE popular the more people learned about it.
Great find John!
In South Fla. we have an area of called “The Gold Coast” where Medicare and Israel have been “The” two issues for 1,000 years. Guess who will or should win these two issues in 2010 and 2012?
“In the bill, Medicare bureaucrats in DC will now be making decisions about what is, and is not, “an effective treatment”.”
This is what is known as a “Death Panel”. The Rats just pissed off one of their biggest voting blocks. The Rats don’t realize it yet but the are in the process of imploding.

You are spot on...I wish each and every conservative would make that very point at EVERY opportunity so that the uneducated masses who watch the dinosaur media would start questioning that!
