We are looking rationed healthcare in the face.
The Obama administration will lower the Social Security cost
they will lower the cost of medicare, they will lower the population of nursing homes, HOW will they do it.
They will do it by lowering the life span of Americans .
They will do it by refusing to pay for dialysis, for costly High Blood Pressure medicines, by refusing expensive chemo -therapy.,refusing to pay for by-pass surgery if you are not up to snuff with their determination of worth.
Someone better wake up or they will be looking at their parents dying while health care is refused them. We all know someone who is receiving expensive treatment at the expense of medicare or health insurance. Look at this person as being condemned by the Government, and see how you like it.
I thnk that much of what you speak WRT older citizens was in his recently passed stimulus package.
My remedy is to not grow any older. ;o)
