Need to send this lancet report and graphics to Glenn Beck, Hannity and Limbaugh.
I can’t do it at the moment.
Dr. Zeke “the Freak” Emanuel belongs in a cage.
JH, Excellent job. I have been thinking about doing a Freep up here, and I think these quotes on placards with the name, picture and official job title of the author would be eloquent statements.
Thanks so much for the links and information.
Also, please consider joining with us and signing our Constitutional Restoration Petition and spread it around. We are going to deliver it and the signatures to Washingotn DC, direct to Congress.
Are you going to do it in September?
We want several hundred thousand at least...millions would be better.
Love it! Short version: Zeke Emengele.
Bookmarked for later read.
Glenn Beck is going to cover this.
What is the Complete Lives System?
See post 33 and download the PDF.
I’ve got it saved on two computers now.
Lebens unwertens leben. And this from a Doctor named Ezikiel Emmanuel. What are six million souls saying as they watch this unfolding horror?
“Ezekiel Emanuel is no different than the Nazis who sought to save the Reich money by killing those unfit and inferior. He is seeking to recreate the holocaust for the aged and infirm.”
How ironic that this is being proposed by a Jew. God must be scratching His head.
Jeff I think this article would help make your argument even more powerful. Look at this article Ezekiel Emanuel helped author in a scholarly journal...
“What Are the Potential Cost Savings from Legalizing Physician-Assisted Suicide?”
http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/339/3/167
I could go for this “20 first, 60 last” if we started with CONGRESS.
ALL those bozos would be deathcared.
(These quotes add new context to the "End-of-Life" Counseling sessions required every 5 years for all seniors over 65 in Obama Care.)
"There is a widespread perception that the United States spends an excessive amount on high-technology health care for dying patients. Many commentators note that 27 to 30 percent of the Medicare budget is spent on the 5 percent of Medicare patients who die each year. They also note that the expenditures increase exponentially as death approaches, so that the last month of life accounts for 30 to 40 percent of the medical care expenditures in the last year of life. To many, savings from reduced use of expensive technological interventions at the end of life are both necessary and desirable."
"Many have linked the effort to reduce the high cost of death with the legalization of physician-assisted suicide. One commentator observed: "Managed care and managed death [through physician-assisted suicide] are less expensive than fee-for-service care and extended survival. Less expensive is better." Some of the amicus curiae briefs submitted to the Supreme Court expressed the same logic: "Decreasing availability and increasing expense in health care and the uncertain impact of managed care may intensify pressure to choose physician-assisted suicide" and "the cost effectiveness of hastened death is as undeniable as gravity. The earlier a patient dies, the less costly is his or her care."
"Although the cost savings to the United States and most managed-care plans are likely to be small, it is important to recognize that the savings to specific terminally ill patients and their families could be substantial. For many patients and their families, especially but not exclusively those without health insurance, the costs of terminal care may result in large out-of-pocket expenses.44 Nevertheless, as compared with the average American, the terminally ill are less likely to be uninsured, since more than two thirds of decedents are Medicare beneficiaries over 65 years of age. The poorest dying patients are likely to be Medicaid beneficiaries. Extrapolating from the Medicare data, one can calculate that a typical uninsured patient, by dying one month earlier by means of physician-assisted suicide, might save his or her family $10,000 in health care costs, having already spent as much as $20,000 in that year."
"Drawing on data from the Netherlands on the use of euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide and on available U.S. data on costs at the end of life, this analysis explores the degree to which the legalization of physician-assisted suicide might reduce health care costs. The most reasonable estimate is a savings of $627 million, less than 0.07 percent of total health care expenditures."
