DEMOCRAT SUMMARY OF SENATE HEALTH BILL
Sen Dick Durbin's website ^ | November 23, 2009 | US Senate Democrats

This is a Dem summary of the Senate Healthcare Bill.


TOPICS: Government; Miscellaneous; News/Current Events
KEYWORDS: durbin; healthcare; senate
Is there a similar summary put out by the Republicans? I did some searches, but did not find a direct point-by-point discrediting of this POS. I liked what Boehner did with the Crap-N-Charade bill - reading it section by section, and I guess I'm looking for similar 'official' commentary by a Repeublican (or at least a conservative).

Posted elswhere but fits here too.

They call it end of life care. But the question is WHEN do the DUMS think the END of LIFE begins.
Are they using the National Socialist “LIFE UNWORTHY OF LIFE STANDARD”
Adolph Hitler: “and if a body can no longer ..the strengt.
h to remain healthy or to become healthy will sooner or later fall victim to some infection, in the future succumbs to its own weakness.
A people is...must have the will to live and to preserve bodily human strength to overcome illness and infectious disease.
The 1920 book “The Permission To Destroy Life Unworthy Of Life”by Psychiatrist Alfred Hoche and Lawyer Karl Binding
urged the medical profession,”not only should provide health giving, but in death taking as well”
They argued, “that the retarded, deformed, terminally ill, and those severly damaged by illness or accident should be put to death.”
Ofcourse Darwin had his bone to pick with the “undesirsbles”.
He theorized “we civilized men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination: We build asylums for the embicile, the maimed, and the sick. We insitute poor laws, and our medical men exert their utmost skill to save the life of everyone to the last moment. Therefore the weak members of civilized societies propagate their kind.”

REMEMBER THERE IS NOTHING CIVILIZED ABOUT THIS DOCTRINE.
tHE VERY SAME THOUGHT PROCESS THE DEMOCRATS FOLLOW.
THE NATIONAL INSITUTE OF HEALTH panel DECIDING WHAT PROCEDURES A WOMAN MAY RECEIVE IS ONLY A GLIMPSE AT WHAT IS INSTORE FOR AMERICA IF THIS HCR BILL IS PASSED
