Four Times Obamacare Advocates Admitted It Will Kill Old People
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | November 12, 2014 | Ben Shapiro, Senior Editor-At-Large

Posted on 11/12/2014 8:38:04 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

While Obamacare’s proponents continue to insist that the program presents no threat to Americans’ healthcare, new comments from Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber demonstrate that Obamacare was designed to do just that. Gruber stated:

You get a law which said healthy people are going to pay in, it made explicit that healthy people pay and sick people get money, it would not have passed…Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage and basically, you know, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically, that was really, really critical to get this thing to pass.

In other words, yes, Obamacare redistributes healthcare. Yes, Obamacare will endanger people who cannot afford healthcare because they are young and healthy, all in order to pay for government benefits for those who are sick. And yes, in order to control the resulting costs, care will have to be cut for the elderly.

Gruber isn’t the only Obamacare architect to tell the truth about Obamacare’s view of redistribution. Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, who has said that he wishes to die at age 75, wrote in February 2008 in the Journal of the American Medical Association:

Vague promises of savings from cutting waste, enhancing prevention and wellness, installing electronic medical records and improving quality of care are merely 'lipstick' cost control, more for show and public relations than for true change.

He added that the Hippocratic Oath was to blame, since it encourages doctors to care for the patients before them without concern for “cost or effect on others.” He told the Washington Post, “We had a big controversy in the United States when there was a limited number of dialysis machines. In Seattle, they appointed what they called a 'God committee' to choose who should get it, and that committee was eventually abandoned.....

I thought Pelosi and the ‘RATS said ObamaCare was going to be “wildly popular”.

If Obamacare had been in place in 1979, Ronald Reagan would have been "put down" before he could become President!

Hmmmm - maybe that's what motivated the bastards!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

So lets haul up the pajama boy Gruber, Dr. Zeke (aka Mengele) Emanuel, and throw in the dwarf Robert Reicchhh in front of congress. It would be quite an entertaining freak show.

The thinking fallacy here is that there is any more validity to an admission that they WILL kill old people than the lie that they WON’T kill old people.

There is literally no statement about 0care that was made by this administration that was true.

This is basically what the VA was trying to pull off, but on a smaller scale. Those old WWII guys don’t come in with the sniffles, you know...

You need to understand the liberal mind. They won’t “kill” anybody. They will just let nature take its course, nice and clean.

Attention Surplus Disorder:" There is literally no statement about 0care that was made by this administration that was true."

True that !!
My healthcare cost just went up $275 per month over what I have already been paying
THe last time I went, I didnt even get to see the doctor
I ended up seeing a PA (Physicians Assistant)
So , I am paying more , and getting less service !
What is happening now in the FED Govt Run Veterans Administration
is what my health care will be - death by being ignored !
The Veterans Administration is ObamaCrap on a training 'dry run' !

When it involves these derelicts, think population control.
