just look how well it served him during the campaign.

stupid enough to vote for them. The next task is to get rid of everyone not stupid enough to vote for them. Seems totally rational to me.

That should be the title of the healthcare part of the bill. Or maybe a new Hollywood movie.

n/t

How old is she? Will the MSM run a story about how this stimulus bill might stop her from getting healthcare?

Pearl Harbor or Obama healthcare. Which will kill more WWII generation Americans?

I bet somebody in the administration actually thought of just that and brought it up during their “if-we-had-half-a-brain”-storming sessions.

I also bet that somebody in the administration is a big fan of the movie Soylent Green and that approach to things.

Facts: As of today, it’s taken over three months to get my Dad set up to become “Medicaid Pending” (we’re not even there yet) so we can divert his Social Security and VA pension to the nursing home he’s been in since November. In the mean time, we’ve been on “private pay”, which means a total of over $7,000 per month just for his care there - that’s well over double the total household income, including mine - I got rid of my place and moved in with them awhile back in order to care for them.

Mom goes in the home with him (same room) by the weekend - she’s in not too-good a shape either. I’ve a check cut for the nursing home already for 30 days to cover her. After that, the rest of their money is gone and I’ve blown through all of mine providing in-home care for them both over the past 2-1/2 years.

Note: How does a Son say to his Mom, “One day within a week or two, I’m taking you to the nursing home not just to see Dad, but also to move in.” ?? I’ve done it and it’s not as difficult as you might think. It only took me a week after to be able to look at myself in a mirror.

Anyway, when they were working, long-term care insurance didn’t exist until the last few years of their working time and when policies did start up, they were told they were over the age to qualify to buy any. The one insurance agency that would have written a policy would have charged literally 75% of their income annually.

So why am I venting ?

Am I looking for a handout ? No ! Absolutely not.

What am I looking for then ?

Actually, not all that much when you think about it truthfully………..

Efficiency and compassion from the people in charge of “safing’ those who cannot care for themselves.

Example: It took multiple calls, letters and e-mails to receive - after over 6 weeks - a single page document from The VA regarding my Dad’s pension. Over 6 weeks for something that gets pulled up from a computer and could have been printed and faxed within a minute or two after establishing ID and authorization.

Forced-dealing with many departments of “the government” (Local, State and especially Federal) in my quest just to know my parents are cared for (I simply can’t do it at the level they need, or I would continue without question) has been “interesting” at best.

I’ve come close to ‘going postal’ a few times just from the sheer indifference and uncaring attitudes of people on the other end of the phone/letter/e-mail/fax.

……………..all that with the systems now in place.

Just think how easy and great all things are about to become under the magic unicorn handler and rainbow sprinkle pixie dust spreader known as Captain Eloquence ; a.k.a. President Government.

Cheers !

The same people are clamoring to throw as much taxpayer money as the mad scientists ask for experimentation on human embryos in hopes of curing disease. How did that billion-plus dollar project work out for California?

The effects of such a policy were seen last year in Oregon. A woman was suffering from cancer, and the state didn’t find the treatment worth the cost. However, they would have been more than willing to foot the bill for her assisted suicide.

For most liberals and Democrats today, “health care” is best addressed by killing off as many people as possible who may ever need legitimate medical care. It’s the ultimate form of “preventive” care.

To claim it’s about usefulness of treatment is a big bold-faced lie. They are pleased as punch to fund all kinds of research projects and experiments that have far less hope of helping anyone.

If you’re out to save health care costs, then abortion saves a lifetime of health care cost.

Or perhaps they will set up a benefit/cost panel and abort those whom their models show will cost more than they can pay in taxes (note I didn’t say “earn” I said “pay in taxes”. Hence the preponderance of clinics in minority neighborhoods. /snark

In their prime, that generation would have kicked our pansy butts.

Over time, you get what you deserve in aggregate. This generation is comprised of weanies and will reap the harvest deserved by weanies.

I think one benefit of filling out the paperwork while waiting in the hospital (Obama’s example) is that YOU can make sure it is correct.

Questions like allergies to medicines etc. Or do we want some minimum wage high school kids entering all of our data into a national database for us?

So is this the left’s new version of China’s one-child policy. It’s a one grandparent policy. They don’t want to pay for health care costs of four grandparents - so’ll they let three die off.
