When United States citizens reach the age of 65 they are forced into Medicare and out of any private insurance option for coverage of their healthcare. The government sets the dollar amount doctors, other healthcare providers, and hospitals will be paid for the treatments of a Medicare patient. When a Medicare payment is decided, often the fee is based on which special interest group lobbies the federal government most effectively. No efficacy research for a particular treatment and no market forces enter into this entirely arbitrary decision made in Washington, D.C. Once a fee is established, Medicare pays 80% of the allowable charge. Twenty per cent may be covered by supplemental insurance or patient out of pocket payment. The patient cannot pay his own money for care above and beyond the Medicare allowableit is against the law.

Reminds me of the political ad showing grandma being shoved down the steps in a wheelchair.

At my Doctors' Office, I noticed a new sign: "We no longer accept Medicare Patients." I inquired the rationale, and was told that it was bad enough dealing with the regular medical insurance companies, but it wasn't worth dealing with the Government.

The Congressional Polituburo will have their own first-class, taxpayer supported, healthcare not the DeathCare they’re attempting to mandate for the American people whom they consider their slaves.

Don't forget to kill tha babies while you are at it!
BTW, the code word for abortion in the abominable Obamacare bill is family planning.

Looks like Obamacare will singlehandedly wipe out the diaper industry. “If it’s wearin’ diapers you gotta kill it!”

Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, this is where we're headed.
The government will decide who gets health care and who doesn't. They will decide who lives and who dies.
Wonderful thing, this Obamacare, isn't it?

More proof?
The bill mandates “death counselling” every 5 years for the elderly!
I kid you not.

The sorry truth is that the Doctors can't make a decent living accepting too many medicare patients. So they limit their practice.

This article should be required reading for everyone here. This is not “reform”; this is EVIL. BTW I wonder how Gloria Steinem et al. will react when it’s their turn to be “aborted” under Obamacare?.....

Side note. Saw my doctor this morning and asked him about his take on this mess. He said it would kill our health care as we know it. Told him I have have been busy with contacting congress, posting to newspaper sites, blogs, etc. He said "thanks, wish more would."
If your local paper allows online comments to stories, post, if not find one by going to: Newseum . Get the word out.

So, like SS, the government steals money from your paycheck and you have no say-so. Then you pay again when you turn 65 - SS becomes taxable income and you pay for Medicare again.
Now, they are going to start killing you off after age 65. Logan’s Run, Soylent Green and Terminator, all rolled into one.

Another “Trail of Tears”. The young and the old, weak and infirm will die out on this trail as they did once before. Several of us who have had parents on Medicare become ill within the last few years have noticed how benefits were nonexistent, when we tried to buy the insurance they needed to be covered with prescription coverage, we were told it was against the law. For those of us who value, love and honor our parents, it becomes an expensive and futile quest to save their lives. In the end, we can't make up for the system that works against us. They die. Game, Set, Match. Cry.

This is Obama’s Gentrification Medical Plan.
Kill off mainly Caucasian seniors through medical neglect and use the profits to benefit newly minted illegal aliens from third world countries who will vote for him.
Its INCONCEIVABLE that those maggots in Congress, those serial elected criminals of BOTH political parties, will be able to force this crap on all other American citizens while being exempted themselves.
NO FREE PEOPLE WOULD EVER TOLERATE WHAT THEY ARE PROPOSING.
