Obama quote:
“Maybe you’re better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller”
Hitler is proud of Obama, and now very proud of Mike.

Sure, Mikey, but only IF we drop single payer and return to Private health Care Plans.

If Blue Cross decides to terminate care for the very elderly, let that play out in the market for future customers and in the courts for current customers.

Other medical insurance plans are afr to offer more attractive plans.

If you Politicians, Lawyers, the AMA and the Health Care Bureaucracy keep treating health care as your personal cash cow, medical tourism will take off. If we can’t have affordable, free-market health care in the USA, we’ll fly to where we can find competent, affordable major medical care.

If the legislatures will force the AMA to loosen it’s stranglehold om First Aid healthcare, then small Urgent Care triage centers at 24-Hour Walmarts will ease the load on hospital ER’s. Let Uber & Lyft replace an ambulance ride for non-life threatening patient transport.

“What makes you think you have the right to make medical decisions for anyone?”

It is not so much the medical decision ... but who pays for it? No one is really paying for these major procedures. Insurance companies and the government are paying for it while we pay into it with premiums and taxes. Whether it is insurance payout rules or government laws ... long ago we reached the point where others were deciding whether a procedure is paid for (by the insurance companies and/or government).

What is different is that the dems would change that equation to where it is just politicians making those decisions. Heaven help us.

These leftist asshats want to murder you before you are born...then, if that doesn’t work, they want to murder you when you are older
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Only if you have been a productive member of society.

They not only let the murderers get away with murder, now they don’t even want to hold ‘criminals’.

What better way to create a ‘cheap army’ that is beholden to you.

Of course, ‘they’ don’t realize that once ‘we’ are eliminated, they will come after them.....

Some things one can’t explain, it has to happen to sort of convince them but then again, ‘we’ won’t be able to say, ‘I TOLD YOU SO’.

He has an apology and rationalization for everything he says.

I wonder How he will get out of this stupid, stupid one.

Has he heard that life expectancy has gone up?

WHAT A PUTZ.

My father was found to have cancer when he was 84 and had successful surgery. He lived for another 9 years and was dearly loved by his family and friends. His cancer may have come back towards the end but he died from other causes and another surgery would have been out of the question at that age.

If Bloomberg has his way, the cut-off age will certainly be much lower than 84. People don't become useless eaters just because they have had too many birthdays. Witness the grief of the woman whose 92-year-old grandmother was raped and murdered by an illegal alien who should have been deported earlier.

“For the rest of us, the extortion racket has already pocketed the loot and the only question is how little they can give in return. “

They treat you with very expensive chemotherapy and radiation, and then you die anyway.

My dad said “I’m92. I’m gonna go” And he did.No pain.Morphine. And other stuff.

He was a Merchant Marine. He was there at Perl Harbor.

He comes to me in my dreams almost daily. Miss him so much.

It isn’t if you pay for it yourself. To my knowledge no on has never said anyone cannot get whatever medical treatment they want; it’s only a matter of who pays.

One of the issues that muddies the waters is that the dollar amounts on medical bills are imaginary.

Medicare authorizes charges that might be 35% of the billing amount and then pays 80% of that. My bills for my cancer infusions, tests and surgery in the last year are about 300K. Between Medicare and BC/BS supplemental, they will get about 105,000.

You wouldn’t have to if people bought their own insurance, and the insurance company would then pay for the treatment.

Why would the federal government have anything to say about it?

I can absolutely guarantee you that if Bloomberg gets cancer when he is 95, he is getting treatment. Because he will pay for it.

The Final Word from Bloomie will be:

YOU JUST CAN’T GET ANY HEALTH PROBLEM THAT’S TOO EXPENSIVE.

FOR YOU, THAT IS.

Progressive Abortion: is not just for the unborn youths-in-Asia! It’s good for anybody we deem “inviable”. It’s really a reductive as well as a repriductuve right. The Climate demands a sacrifice of the ancient oxygen theives that are near room temperature anyway.

They should be looked at differently. This is all about who pays. Bloomberg is not far off on this issue. Anyone can get any medical care they want if they have a way to pay for it. Some go out of country. Some use alternative medicine and others use outlets with creative ways to pay. Me, I use earthclinic.com when I can. It drives my doctor crazy but I’m not crazy about the drugs they push.

He doesn’t have to promote euthanasia, hospice has that under control.

They will gladly kill you off in a few days by sedating you until you starve to death.

They pegged my grandmother as being dead in 5-7 days. That was before they met my mother and my uncles. They kept the “nurses” from knocking her out with pain killers and my mother and uncles go and feed her everyday.
Grandma is going on 65 days since they said 5-7 which is about how long it would take her to starve to death.
