ObamaCare’s latest whopper (Here come the Deathpanels)
NY Post ^ | Jan 1, 2014 | Betsy McCaughey

Posted on 01/01/2014 3:40:53 PM PST by Innovative

In 2013, the American people learned what whoppers the key promises of ObamaCare turned out to be. But the biggest whopper about the Affordable Care Act is yet to be exposed: the tightening grip the federal government will have over your doctor — even if you’re paying with private insurance.

Section 1311(h)(1)(B) of the health law gives the secretary of Health and Human Services blanket authority to dictate how doctors treat patients. Not just patients in government programs like Medicare and Medicaid, but patients with private plans they pay for themselves. On Dec. 2, 2013, we learned from the Federal Register that the rules are now being written. Starting in 2015, insurance companies will be barred from doing business with doctors who fail to comply.

Obama’s nominee to run the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Dr. Donald Berwick, also insisted the federal government must step in between doctors and their patients to curb and redistribute the use of medical resources. Berwick said resources should be allocated based on “important subgroups.” These groups, rather than the individual patient in the doctor’s office, he said, should be the “unit of concern.”

It will be warmly received by America’s youts when they find out how helpful the Death Panels are for SocSec and Medicare financials. If there’s any grousing about granny’s premature demise, the regime will send out some Groupons for student loan relief.

Demonstrating yet again the mindless stupidity that is liberalism.

There is no reason for health care rationing. No reason at all. What this really is, is genocide masked as “healthcare”.

It is up to all of us. Are we so subdued we will accept this fate? Sickening.

Sad, I believe we are.

This does bring up so interesting thought to me, an older guy.

If I know before hand that my medical treatment will be with held only because of my age and therefore I will not live as long as a younger person with the same problems why should I worry about a long imprisonment or legal penalty for doing something wrong?

This question would apply to all crimes. Would I not be angry at some one or a group of people for condemning me to death at an earlier age? The irony of it would be that I would never pay the price for the crime because by their call I would be dead. Even if imprisoned for a shot time at the end of my life while going through the process of dieing, it would put the burden of medical care, meals, clothing, rent, and utilities on the government. I would have very little to loose my family would be better off too.

This is a very interesting position to put a person in. If I had great credit why not borrow as much as I can get, disperse all my assets to the people I want to have them and then default on debt or just die with nothing left?

This obama care thing is giving older folks something to think about.

God is still on the throne. Try not to think like that.
