A reprint of a blog written by a friend. =========================================================== Exclusive: Obama’s ‘Kill Grandma Bill’ - Will Americans tolerate the denial of health care to those 65 and older?
I first began reading of the reality behind Obama's health care plans for the nation yesterday and since then I have come across several articles and opinion pieces that are speaking directly to the plans afoot and precisely who is involved in this dire scheme that Obama is hustling on America as supposed revamped health care. I can remember years ago during the heady days of hippies and LSD and the the publicized hallucinations of the supposed enlightened. I remember the "don't trust anyone over 30" rhetoric and the novels and movies about soilent green and the coming age when people would once again be marched into ovens and destroyed as a burden upon society. Science fiction....never could happen again right? I have to admit that at the time I never dreamed that there would ever be a time (in my lifetime) when any of that would actually approach reality, but that time has apparently now arrived IMO. And it has arrived compliments of America's first black president and the first person ever elected to the presidency, who is so thoroughly committed to socialism, that he will even commit state sponsored murder to see the goals of his political religion attained. And don't kid yourselves, socialism is just as much a religion for the practitioners and its followers, as anything that you will see them affiliated with. Actually it is more of a cult than a religion, but they adhere to it and have committed themselves to it in the same manner as any cultist or follower of Christianity. Obama's plans for American health care are to first attempt to gain control of medicare and medicaid and their payment structure. On first examination the reality is relatively simple. He intends to implement government mandated price controls over health care for all who fall under medicare and medicaid. But the reality is far more sinister when examined closely. What he and those in his administration are really up to, is a complete denial of medical treatments and health care period, for all who have reached or surpassed their government predetermined shelf life. Live to be 65 years old and qualify for medicare and medicaid? And you better have taken real good care of yourself through the years, because under Obama's version of affordable health care? Society will no longer be able to afford you. Need a bypass or treatment for diabetes? Or heaven forbid a hip or knee replacement? And you are going to be SOL. Have a look at what is being planned for your affordable health care program under Obama care as we speak. A federal bureaucracy, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS), have proposed draconian cuts to Medicare. Obama’s plans to finance nationalized health care call for $287. 5 billion dollars cuts from Medicare over the course of ten years–$520 million in 2010. Any nationalized plan submitted to Congress by the Democrats will be half financed by the exclusion of the elderly from a variety of health care services. For example, heart disease is the number one killer of those ages 65 and over. Medicare payments to doctors for cardiac care, not including expensive heart surgery, will be cut by 20% in 2010. With a population of baby boomers soon to reach 65, the shortage of dollars will be spread more thinly. And there is more...... Apparently, these cuts are not enough to satisfy Barack Obama. Congress decides annually if Medicare cuts will go through. Obama is attempting to seize Congressional control of Medicare and move it to the Executive Branch and into the hands of unaccountable, unelected officials, stating the move is critical “in controlling health care costs”. What this translates into is that he believes Congress will be too afraid to accept the cuts that will put senior citizens on the road to premature death. Citizens over 65, in the eyes of the Obama and his administration, are just not worth the expense and the problem with social security is solved with the early departure of those who have diligently paid into the system, hoping to enjoy their retirement. No longer will Medicare decisions be based on “safe and effective” treatments for illness. Pelosi’s United States House of Representatives Health care Reform Bill, introduced last week supports Obama’s agenda. The plan is based on the rationing-of-care-to-cut-costs models of Great Britain and Canada. Yes, these countries spend less money on health care as Obama likes to point out in speeches. They achieve this by denying care, creating long waits, often too long to save the patient, and limiting diagnostic and potentially life-saving treatments. Everyone who is presently 65 or older had better pay attention to what these socialist interlopers are attempting to pas through as supposed revamped and affordable health care. And those like myself who are within ten years of reaching that age had better pay even more attention, because if this passes, the system will have become well versed in how to make us "comfortable" with our timely demise once we no longer qualify for any quality of life. President Obama and his administration are rife with these socialist whiz kids and those who are and will not be subject to the plans that they have in store for the rest of us. Obama's chief of staff Rahm Emanuel is only surpassed by his brother Ezekial who in the final analysis may end up being viewed by history as this century's Joseph Mengele if allowed to come to prominence in Obama's new vision of state controlled health care. Another troubling fact, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel is a member of the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology board and has been a close advisor to Obama on health care. A bioethicist and the brother of Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s chief of staff, has called for rescinding the Hippocratic Oath which admonishes doctors to do no harm and to do all that is necessary to save the patient. Emmanuel believes that doctors should be oriented to cost factors rather than patient care. How many physicians, who become close to the patient and families they treat, will be willing to practice this cold, cold delivery of health care once the Hippocratic Oath is extinguished. The overwhelming majority of physicians have consciences. Obama and the liberals in Congress apparently do not. Yes, you read that right, given the opportunity and the ability? Ezekiel Emanuel wants the Hippocratic Oath rescinded and eliminated entirely. Why? Because as a bioethicist, he knows and realizes that there are any number of ethical issues that cannot be resolved as long as human beings are treated like human beings. Therefore, they must be considered on a different level of existence for Mr. Emanuel's ethics to be allowed to run free and play upon the socialist and Marxist themes that he truly relishes and wants to pass on to the rest of us. Every American should be made aware of what these people are up to and precisely what their agenda is when it comes to their version of supposed "affordable health care." Of course it's affordable if we eliminate through state sponsored murder the number of Americans who are seeking health care. Is there any clearer picture of the intent of these people than their stated goal to just let people die? Americans had better wake up and let their elected representatives know how they feel about this socialist lunacy before it is too late. And those who are voting on these bills better make sure that someone reads the fine print of these 1000 plus page amendments before this heresy becomes law. Or else some day soon, they will be wheeling your dead or dying carcass to a government funded collection center to be rightly and justly disposed of, before you waste anymore of the state's treasure trying to keep you alive. -- Posted By Locutisprime to The Borg Conspiracy at 7/21/2009 07:33:00 AM --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
