"We are God's partners in matters of life and death." Well, Obama did say he wants to cut health care costs. Maybe he plans to get seniors to die faster by cutting off meds and denying treatment for someone who would probably die anyway in the next year or so. Now that would save a bundle or so the "deathers" say. Whether you die because of a governmental decision or a private insurance decision, you're still dead and I don't know that it makes any difference who pulls the plug on grandma. End of life decisions are family decisions, but like it or not a price tag usually enters the picture. Rather than focus on end of life decisions to save money, why not focus on the leeches? The best way to cut health care costs is to stop paying executives like William W. McGuire, CEO of United Health Group $125 million a year. My 84 year-old aunt is a retired laundry worker. She worked the same job for 40 years. She never made enough to save, never owned property, never owned or drove a car. Her social security is so minimal that she qualifies for Medicade. She recently had a pacemaker operation and it didn't cost her a dime. No one said, you're too old, sorry. They just took care of her and I'm happy she is still with us. Don't worry, WillyTex you can keep your expensive private insurance, fatten leeches like McGuire, have your premiums rise faster than your income, and go BK when they deny coverage for your prostrate operation. And there you are, stuck with the tab you were just so sure your insurance would pay. Wouldn't you like have a fall back choice,like Medicare just in case? Just out of curiosity, if you become eligible for Medicare would you prefer continuing to pay for private insurance or would you enroll in Medicare? Obama is not a fundamentalist nor is he a liberal. He is a member of the Immaculate Hands of the Opportunistic Church. His priestly vestment is an empty suit, neither fish nor fowl, donkey nor elephant.
