Obama Plans To Downgrade Medicare

Posted on 10/30/2008 10:53:07 AM PDT by Candybar

This is Halloween and Obama is trying to scare and fool us Senior Citizens. He is planning to kill Medicare, as we know it, and give us a SEVERELY MODIFIED old age health insurance plan.

Obama would, for example, eliminate a certain number of surgical procedures costing ten of thousands of dollars each. The Democrats' idea is to reign in Medicare's costs at the expense of the Senior Citizens.

First, Obama wants to take away our retirement plans like in Argentina. Now, he wants to compromise our health insurance coverage.

This is a helluva way to treat people!

My Fellow Americans, Obama is worse than we could ever conceive and believe!

There is one way to stop this. Vote for John McCain. And vote for your Republican Senator and Republican Congressman or Congresswoman.

Medicare is doomed no matter who wins. It is simply unsustainable. Like Social “Insecurity”, it is a ponzi scheme that is about to unravel. After all these years of paying exorbitant taxes to support current retirees, Boomers are going to be left holding the empty bag.

This is precisely why government should never have gotten involved in health care in the first place. Government health care always fails.

Where did you get this info from?

I remember some congressional hearings that made some news last week, where all the items were being considered. The Social Security confiscation of 401k's was a big item. Rush mentioned it too.

Don't expect an answer

But it’s your DUTY to die when you get old, so that others may live more comfotably.

Giving money to the health care system doesn't produce much more care. All it does is reallocate care from those that don't have political power (the working lower middle class) and gives it to those that are politically powerful (seniors).

So really it's about allowing broke seniors to die so that current workers can live.

Socialized Medicine = the young get the needed treatment and the old (no-longer useful) are left to die.

Socialized Medicine = politics determines who gets care instead of income.

We already have socialized medicine. When old whites had political power, the state allocated them medical care (while others were priced out).

Well, Obama doesn't need ol' whitey. The young and poor are his base, so the state will allocate the care to them now.

Colorado Governor Richard Lamm, talks about cutting Medicare by 10 times the amount currently proposed over the next decade
