"This hurry-up-and-die message is clear and unconscionable," says Towey, "Worse, a July 2009 VA directive [presumably signed by Shinseki] instructs its primary care physicians to raise advance care planning with all VA patients and to refer them to 'Your Life, Your Choices.' [the Euthanasia booklet.] Not just those of advanced age and debilitated condition-all patients. America's 24 million veterans deserve better." Towey recommends a "five wishes" living-will document that does not pressure suicide.

But instead the Hemlock Society booklet is now MANDATED for doctor referral to all patients in all VA hospitals, heaping more evidence upon the growing list of proofs that the Obama Administration is LYING TO THE PUBLIC by denying their health care plan pushes Euthanasia on the elderly. They already do it today. Just imagine if ALL hospitals become government-run like the VA.

I posted my e-mail. Details are at the Human Events link. Veterans, Ijust want you to know, we love you and appreciate you. This is NOT what we want for all you have done to keep out country safe and free.

I seem to recall that when Obama was campaigning, he complained about the medical care our veterans were receiving at Walter Reed. Bush was doing it wrong, apparently. I guess Obama’s plan is to just kill those boys off rather than mess around with that expensive “medicine” stuff.

It’s not only veterans. My 87-year-old mom was given a 10% chance to live three weeks ago and beat the odds. She was transported to a nursing home and is now back in the hospital. She’s very weak, but has her full faculties and wants to get better. When she was admitted to the hospital again yesterday, the didn’t do squat for her even though she’s in congestive heart failure. My brother went to see her and got very angry. They put her in there to die. He set about this morning to set them straight. We’ll see if they care. It’s Obamacare a little early.

This has been given some pretty good coverage on Fox and the talk radio shows(and FR) but one thing we are not discussing that you have brought up is the DNR orders. This is just so cold and calculating it is beyond belief. Remember a few years ago, the reports that so many more soldiers were being given a second chance at life after injuries in battle because of the advancement in battlefield medicine? To normal people, this is wonderful news that so many US soldier’s lives are being saved...but to the Statist(marxist)..this is not good. The Statist(marxist) wants that money to be going to statist designs..not our military. This is the reason for the sudden push...the Obama government is getting tired of paying to save our soldier’s lives.

It is evil..plain and simple. Now they will encourage them all to sign these DNR orders and they will all die on the battlefield(saving Obama money that he can redistribute to ACORN, unions, various other leftist green organizations and the DNC machine.)Thanks for keeping this latest Obama/democrat/marxist evil front and center.

WE HAVE TO KEEP FIGHTING BACK AT THE TEA PARTIES AND TOWNHALLS!!

I believe the White House physician slot is still open.

Anyone know where we can find Doctor Kevorkian?

If so, ask him to call 202-666-RAHM.

A little background on Jim Towey: Mother Teresa's "attorney". I heard him speak at a Catholic Mens Conference. He is a man's man and a great Catholic.

Another great tidbit from the talk: He and his wife had recently had a son who they named John Paul ... Towey!

One last one, from the short article, about Mother Teresa being asked at the end of her life, after she’d been working fifty years with the poorest of the poor whether she got discouraged: ”Didn’t you get discouraged Mother?” she was asked. Mother Teresa responds, “No, God doesn’t call me to be successful; God calls me to be faithful.”

Vets and active duty need to file a class action lawsuit with a good attorney demanding the BC. Hussein wants to kill vets off.

And when not enough veterans decide to die the liberals will find new reasons to “help” them decide.

See Michelle, I told you that we had plenty of space to put all of the old and worthless Americans and worthless depressed and disabled veterans in and get them out of the way. We could put about 50 million of them in that big hole. Then, we can use their estate taxes to fund the 40 million former illegals, who are now legal citizens and our voters and needing free healthcare.

1200 vets mistakenly told they’re dying from ALS
Hotair.com ^ | August 24, 2009 | Ed Morrissey

Posted on Monday, August 24, 2009 12:03:48 PM by rightwingintelligentsia

Just as the Obama administration tries to reassure people that the government can manage the health-care system more competently than what we have now, one of its single-payer systems demonstrates exactly what we can expect from ObamaCare. The VA mistakenly informed 1200 veterans that they have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), better known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, a 100% fatal condition. They blamed it on a “coding error” (via JWF):

At least 1,200 veterans across the country have been mistakenly told by the Veterans Administration that they suffer from a fatal neurological disease.

One of the leaders of a Gulf War veterans group says panicked veterans from Alabama, Florida, Kansas, North Carolina, West Virginia and Wyoming have contacted the group about the error.

Denise Nichols, the vice president of the National Gulf War Resource Center, says the VA is blaming a coding error for the mistake.

... pressuring veterans to sign a “living will” that authorizes doctors to terminate your life, if you are:

1) Living in a nursing home?

2) Being in a wheelchair?

3) Not able to “shake the blues?”

4) Ever heard anyone say, “If I’m a vegetable, pull the plug?”

5) No longer able to contribute to your family’s well-being?

6) Are you a severe financial burden to your family?

7) Do you cause severe emotional burden for your family?

PING

Let's see if we can develop a “Presidential Death Book”.

For example, the booklet asks veterans 7 questions pressuring veterans to sign a “living will” that authorizes doctors to terminate your life, if you are:

1) Having to constantly live in a high-stress environment with scores or armed security around you and your family?

2) Being in the chair where the buck supposedly stops?

3) Not able to “shake the blues because you've spent all your political capital in the first six months in office?”

4) Ever heard me say, “If I'm a one-termer, pull the plug?”

5) No longer able to redefine rich as $50,000 or more?

6) Are you a severe financial burden to the working families of America?

7) If my approval/disapproval goes below -14, do you wish to be resuscitated?
