Robert Reich Reveals Brutal Health Care Truths; MSM Snores (Freeper Article in WSJ!!!)
Wall Street Journal ^ | October 15, 2009 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 10/16/2009 6:56:49 AM PDT by PJ-Comix

Paging Congressman Alan Grayson! Here is a quote that validates what you said about those EVIL Republicans:

"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 of years of your life to keep you maybe going for another couple of months. It's too expensive...so we're going to let you die."

Aha! So it turns out that Grayson was right when he said "Republicans want you to die quickly." Only one "little" problem here. That quote did not come from a Republican. In fact it came from the very liberal former Labor Secretary Robert Reich who is now an economics adviser for Barack Obama.

Congratulations on being published in the WSJ.

What was as scary as the words Robert Reich was saying was the applause. Those kids were actually clapping about letting grandma die. I was stunned!

How is it fair to change the rules of the game in Medicare so late in the game ?

Seniors, and everybody else, have been forced to contribute, under the premise that their health care would be covered. Now that the pay up is coming due, they are told that they are no longer worthy of care.

That's bait and switch to the max. If any business tried that, they'd go to jail. I know the government doesn't have to play by the same rules, but that really sucks !

If this were a free country, these governemnt social programs would be voluntary. And nobody would join.

Big congratulations on getting this one into the WSJ.

Did you see the recent news that WSJ has recently passed USA Today as the country’s largest circulation newspaper?

Murdoch is doing something right.

“Seniors, and everybody else, have been forced to contribute, under the premise that their health care would be covered. Now that the pay up is coming due, they are told that they are no longer worthy of care.”

It isn’t. But that’s what always happens in Ponzi schemes to the folks who get in later. Social Security is next.

This recording has already gone viral in the blogosphere but so far the mainstream media is ignoring it. I guess the MSM is currently much more obsessed over what Rush Limbaugh did not say about slavery than they are over what an Obama economics adviser actually did say about health care. PING

If I find such a thread I'll DUFU it. If this turns out to be the straw that breaks the ObamaCare back then I will have claim to a mighty TriFecta.

1. Bringing down the Soviet Union with my Krokodil articles as American correspondent just before the collapse of the Evil Empire.

2. Enabling Web commerce to expand dramatically with my suggestion in early 2000 to the PayPal Director of Marketing (Jack Selby) to quit promoting PayPal as a way to pay restaurant bills via Palm Pilot and instead go for the online auction market with auction banners. Selby quickly took my suggestion and...well the rest is history.

3. Helping to bring the Robert Reiiiiiiiiccchhhh quote to light, thus breaking the back of ObamaCare.

.....annnnnd maybe

4. Help enable the election of new leader of a certain Lutheran denomination who vastly expands the flock by using a guilt-free beer drinking appeal to Baptists and Presbyterians to join the L-team (along with disgruntled ELCA-ites)?
