I'll stick with that storyline if anyone asks.
I am way less worried about obama’s death squads than I am the gross incompetence of my doctors.
Hey, but I am old enough you young people are paying for the crappy medical care I receive. Just wait awhile, and one of these quacks will relieve you of paying for my medical care.
Why do you continue to see incompetent doctors?
“Basically, there’s a certain amount of money that’s allocated for Medicare spending each year. Once you hit that amount that’s been appropriated,” the Independent Payment Advisory Board “can then decide, not based on quality or need, but based on strictly cost” to stop payment...”
I see nothing wrong with this. There is no goose laying golden eggs. I have no insurance and am not eligible for state or Federal aid. So I am out of luck if I need any life-saving care. No money, too bad - so sad.
That's what I get for not smoking, drinking or using drugs. Just went to work for 32 years starting at age 18, took early retirement due to a Management restructure and back to work at a different company six months after that.
Hardly took a sick day all those years and wham...
BTW - When my Oncologist told me I probably had 10 -15 years left I said, "you mean I'm getting ripped off by SS and Medicare"? He was not amused, but that's what really pissed me off about it. Nobody gets out alive and someone else will be enjoying, if they haven't already, the $300,000 plus that I "contributed" to the cause. Wish I had it now so I could enjoy life a little more, but the Government just pissed it away hoping I would die before getting any of it. No complaints about my Doctors. I'm sorry you don't have the same faith in yours. With my prognosis, you'll probably be doing the Irish Jig on my grave anyway. You take good care my FRiend. Don't give up in trying to find a Doctor you trust.
Ooogah boogah! Soylent Green is people..
Im stillwaiting for someone to Introduce Ezekiel Emmanuel to the American People,He of The COMPLETE LIVES SYSTEM,he was awarded 1 Billion dollars in the Stimulus Bill to chair the Comparative Effectiveness Research panel that dovetails with the IPAB panel. The American People I think would like to Know that if you are between the age of 15 and 45 you will get the Bulk of Health care Spending,outside of that you will get a Pill and told to go home you have had your Quality of life years.
Wow. That was my first thought, too.
tdscpa, you do know doctors aren’t Gods, that 50% of them graduate in the lower half of their class, and that you can change doctors, right?
Here's the key quote from the article.
will have the power to decide whether you can depend on government funds to continue “on dialysis or cancer chemotherapy
As far as I am concerned, the only potential problem is if the feds try to curtail the right to spend one's own money on health care. I'd fight that like crazy, but at the same time I'm totally in favor of reducing government health care spending by any means whatever.
How about nobody gets “the Bulk of Health care Spending”, but instead everyone pays their own way??

All of you people who think this way are full of it. To start with we will ALL be forced into a single payer plan, ran by the government, that is the basic plan behind Bozo care. Secondly, the people on SS and Medicare now were forced into it by the socialist system that FDR started and that we all let continue down through the years. It needs to be gradually phased out, not ended abruptly.
Believe it, these death panels will be for all of us, 100%, once the single payer plane is in full effect.
Medicare is currently spending far, far more than it takes in. Do you suggest we (a)raise its taxes, (b)cut its benefits, or (c)try to recruit a magic dwarf who can spin straw into gold?

Doctor!!
There are two kinds of doctors. There are regular doctors. And there are “healers”. “Healers” want the credit for curing you. And they get pissed at you for not getting well.
