Obama's Health Plan

If he can do it with the banks and with the auto manufacturers, what makes you think he can't do it with your healthcare and your life? Read his own words. It's no exaggeration.

Bureaucrats will decide when to pull the plug

BO said: "And part of what I think government can do effectively is to be an honest broker in assessing and evaluating treatment options."

Are you serious!?

[BO] stated that "the chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health care bill out here." For them, he said, "I think that there is going to have to be a conversation that is guided by doctors, scientists, ethicists. And then there is going to have to be a very difficult democratic conversation that takes place. It is very difficult to imagine the country making those decisions just through the normal political channels."

Are you sh!tin' me!?

The time to really worry about your health is when a government bureaucrat, not your personal doctor, tells you what treatment you can have. Yet that's exactly the scenario endorsed by Mr. Obama. This position clearly leads to health care rationing. Nobody in the government or in any "political channels" should tell individuals how to make decisions about "the end of their lives." The only conversations happening should be personal, not democratic. It's not up to government to pull the plug.


Government healthcare is expensive. So not only is BO going to get the government (politicians and statisticians) involved in end of life decisions for the elderly who are on government health care, but he's going to expand this unsustainable, government controlled health care system to all of Americans. And we get to flip the bill.

Stop dreaming and listen carefully to what he's saying about your health and your life. "Democratic conversation"!? The country making decisions through political channels!?

Just imagine that conversation. Your elderly parent is on Medicaid and receiving care without which your parent will die. In walks a BO government official and has a statistical and economic discussion with you and your parent about how it will be better overall if they pull the plug and your parent drops dead.

This is some really scary stuff. I'm thoroughly disgusted with our President at this point. You thought GW was bad. This is beyond stupid.
Enough is enough.
