CNN Poll: 59% of Americans Now in Opposition to Obama’s Health Care Plan

From RedState

One thing becomes clear: The plan does nothing to control health care costs, and everything to increase those costs

This is a balloon which must burst, and it will several years down the road...

SPLAT! It's like what happens when a butterfly collides with the windshield of a speeding SUV...

When Liberal Dreams Collide With Public Opinion

Obama's public pleas: "It's close to Peter Pan telling the children that thinking lovely thoughts will make them fly!"

President Obama in his public pleas for the plan appears to be truly upset that his benign view of it isn't obvious to all. In his op-ed Sunday for the New York Times he said, "We'll cut hundreds of billions in waste and inefficiency in federal health programs like Medicare and Medicaid." Hundreds of billions? Just like that? This is nothing but an assertion by one man. It's close to Peter Pan telling the children that thinking lovely thoughts will make them fly.

Most people are aware that the big three entitlements we've got are underfunded. Medicaid is wrecking state budgets, Medicare goes broke in eight years, followed by the flatlining of Social Security.

King Canute ordered the tides to recede to prove to his courtiers that his powers were limited. President Obama appears to believe he can reverse the tides of entitlement. What evidence has government given to allow anyone to believe this?

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.
