Obamacare: Rationing will hit the elderly especially hard...

Since Medicare was established in 1965, access to care has enabled older Americans to avoid becoming disabled and to travel and live independently instead of languishing in nursing homes. But legislation now being rushed through Congress—H.R. 3200 and the Senate Health Committee Bill—will reduce access to care, pressure the elderly to end their lives prematurely, and doom baby boomers to painful later years.

Obamacare for old folks: Just 'cut your life short'

This will shock decent people out there (one wonders what the hell kind of people think these things up):

--- "One of the most shocking things is page 425, where the Congress would make it mandatory absolutely that every five years people in Medicare have a required counseling session," she said. "They will tell [them] how to end their life sooner."

The proposal specifically calls for the consultation to recommend "palliative care and hospice" for seniors in their mandatory counseling sessions. Palliative care and hospice generally focus only on pain relief until death.

--- It also recommends a method for death: "the use of artificially administered nutrition and hydration."

--- The law also allows preferences that treatment levels set up by patients "may range from an indication for full treatment to an indication to limit some or all … interventions."

McCaughey also said the Obama administration is suggesting that medical care be withheld from seniors based on the expected years they have left to live. Such a program already is in effect in the United Kingdom, where patients losing their eyesight to age-related macular degeneration cannot be given an eyesight-saving medication until they lose sight in one eye.

Barack Obama's diabolical scheme to "save money" and fix social security at the same time!

Looks like Obama and his cohorts have taken a page right out of the famous 1970's science fiction movie Logan's Run described as: "An idyllic sci-fi future has one major drawback: life must end at 30."

How?

They're going to begin with denying specific procedures and medications to "people over 65," but if you understand how socialized medicine works, that age limit will soon slip to 55, probably to 50 and will surely include ALL of the seriously infirm (regardless of age), children and fetuses with defects. Shades of the Nazi Party! In other words, they only want "quality health care" for the already healthy (who don't need health care). The "savings" will come from cutting short the lives of millions of utterly defenseless sick, weak and elderly Americans. Clever way to (1) save money on healthcare (after, of course, spending trillions to nationalize it), and (2) thin out that pesky herd of useless old folks to save Social Security.

Don’t believe me? Listen to one of experts:

Betsy McCaughey, Patient Advocate and Founder of the Committee to Reduce Invectious Deaths:

Interview July 16, 2009

Here’s some of what she says (and here are a couple of Obama's fellow travelers):

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel
Head of the Department of Bioethics
The Clinical Center of the National Institutes of Health

Dr. Emanuel, the brother of white house chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, has written extensively of the benefits of "comparative effectiveness research." This concept is keystone in socialized health care policies, such as those in Canada and the UK. In essence, comparative effectiveness research promotes devoting health care resources to those who have the most time left to benefit from them. To put it another way, those who are considered too old or too sick to truly reap the benefits from expensive treatments would be denied such care. Can this be where medicine is heading? (Dr. Emanuel has also recommended against treating such diseases as dementia and other incurable or irreversible diseases!)

Dr. David Blumenthal
Department of Health and Human Services
National Coordinator for Health Information Technology

Dr. Blumenthal has been given the responsibility of developing a nation-wide medical monitoring system, which will "oversee" the choices your doctor makes when it comes to your health. Diagnoses, treatments, and recommendations will all be recorded in this system and analyzed by the government. If you doctor refuses to be a "meaningful user" of the system, he or she can expect to be penalized starting in 2014.
