In a September 2007 speech at UC Berkeley, Robert Reich told his audience the following: "We're going to have to, if you're very old, we're not going to give you all that technology and all those drugs for the last couple years of your life to keep you going for maybe another couple months. It's too expensive...so we're going to let you die." Reich wasn't just Clinton's Labor Secretary. He's NOW a confidante and personal advisor to Obama. He's a player and he knows what's happening in the administration.

“we’re not going to give you all that technology and all those drugs for the last couple years of your life to keep you going for maybe another couple months”

So how do you know, Bobbie, when it is someone’s last YEARS if you don’t allow them medication to continue for the another couple MONTHS??????

Liberals are evil.

“Brutal Health Care”

Redd, its an RR quote from several years back, bad part here is the gem of truth; For all things there is a season.

I don’t want to be a $100K cabbage for the life extenders, neither do you. I don’t know if there is a good part, but darling Sarah is spot on. NO one in the real world wants a Federal fist on when and how.

“Seems like Palin was right about some Obaministas wanting death panels!”

It doesn’t seem so much an individual thing like a panel would imply, it’s a death policy.

Befehls ist Befehls!

Robert Reichhh, a mental midget, an intellectual dwarf. Could he (in terms of influence) shrink to the point where he wouldn’t matter any more ?

"We're going to have to, if you're very old, we're not going to give you all that technology and all those drugs for the last couple years of your life to keep you going for maybe another couple months.

That's the problem with these government control junkies. When they own the system, the must allocate resources...they must decide "what they will give you" and it always comes down to life or death because that it was life itself comes down do.

It never dawns on them that my life is MY LIFE. For the sake of fairness (in their twisted minds) for the few unfortunate, they must destroy freedom for all.

I suggest that we start with bearded, dwarfish, political apparatchiks, who are truth challenged.

Dr.Reich, please call in to your office.

"if you're very old, we're not going to give you all that technology and all those drugs for the last couple years of your life to keep you going for maybe another couple months. It's too expensive...so we're going to let you die"

This message is designed to condition the useful idiots to "do the right thing" by sacrificing their life for the greater good of society.

Come on all you octogenarians - you won a world war and had a good run at life. Now it's time to give for your countrymen one last time. Be patriotic and go out as the greatest generation... Make us proud and show the way for all to follow...

RR's updated message:

This is how the late, great "Lion of the Senate" - Ted Kennedy - would have done it if he wasn't so darn important to the cause of the underdog. He would never have consumed millions of $'s on those advanced cancer treatments to prolong his life. No - never.

But he had more to accomplish for the common man. And he did much for the progressive movement while he bravely clung to every second of life he could purchase with taxpayer money. Yes, he was truly a hero and one to emulate - except his sacrifice was to cling to life - while yours will be to let go, and let God take you home as soon as possible.
