Why Not ObamaCare?

The architects of ObamaCare are all world-renowned experts on the rationing of care in a collectivist model. Dr. Donald Berwick, who was recess-appointed by President Obama to be the head of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (until he resigned rather than face Senate confirmation hearings), is a lifelong advocate of the single-payer collectivist model and a senior policy advisor to "The Commonwealth Fund," a left-wing American think-tank dedicated for the last 90-odd years to transitioning the American system to a nationalized model.

Berwick is one of the original architects of the rationing board for the British National Health Service, known as the National Institute for Clinical Excellence, or by the Orwellian acronym NICE. One of Berwick's Commonwealth Fund acolytes, a former Harkness Fellow at the think-tank, is Kalipso Chalkidou, the current head of the international division of NICE. She travels the world teaching other nations how to implement the NICE model of cost-containment via the withholding of treatments and procedures.

Also playing on this field is Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of former Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. A bioethicist with the National Institute of Health, Emanuel is the designer of the "Complete Lives System," a formula for making decisions as to who will receive life-saving treatment and who will not.

Getting older and poorer people enrolled in MEDICAID means they will die earlier (that is, earlier than the young and healthy people) and then the state will be able to take and sell their property to recover the costs of their medicaid!

Better look at this closely and determine if it is Obama's real "single payer" plan. Carried to extremes it will eventually eliminate the middle class.

ACA’s care rationing (Death Panels) will also be a large contributor to salvaging the ultimate socialist pogrom...Social (in)Security.

Killing off old folks will help to preserve funds for younger folks as they approach retirement.

Don’t worry, young folks. They’ll never do that to you. No. Never.

Dolts.

Socialists/Commies work and plan LOOONG term. We react to their latest revelations. They act how you have to act when in a large crowd trying to move through a narrow opening. Just keep shuffling your feet and filling in any tiny opening, no matter how small, but always keep pointing to the opening. Move ahead in 1/4" steps. Don't try to push too hard or you lose your balance. Don't move back unless there is no choice, but immediately get back to shuffling those feet ahead, quickly filling in any gap that opens.

Where are our long term plans? The Constitution will not take care of itself while these guys are trying to tear it up, by tiny little pieces most of the time, but large chunks when we aren't alert. Large chunks are coming loose now.

We need to plan LOOONG term to take care of it. There were people doing that, but they died. Thanks to the socialist teachers that taught their children, the children did not all follow in those great footsteps as strongly as they should have. Then that generation didn't teach their children how to follow, either.

Now we have a far-lefty as our president and they don't seem to think it is a problem. barack obama did not become president just because he gave a good speech one day. He and his ilk were long-term projects of people like this "Commonwealth Fund."
