Many Americans are aware of the dangers of ObamaCare, but as I research this appalling piece of legislation, I’m finding that it is far worse than even I imagined.
The Democrats like to portray themselves as the party that is looking out for the little guy. What a load of crap that is! All they care about is power and gaining control over every aspect of our lives.
Wait until you read the following article and listen to the two audios from a woman who has read this entire healthcare bill.
I don’t know how the authors of this bill sleep at night. If this passes, the Democrats will have the blood of many elderly people on their hands.
Read from Hyscience:
Health Care Advocate Betsy McCaughey: ObamaCare's "A Vicious Assault On The Elderly" (Two must-hear audios)
“Health policy expert and former Lt. Governor of New York State, Betsy McCaughey has read the bills cover to cover, and wants to get the word out - ObamaCare would be hazardous to your health, especially the elderly's. Regardless of what the Democrats are saying, they're taking $500 billion out of the system which means at a time when many more people are going to be cared for - treatments are going to be in short supply, there are going to be longer waits, and fewer nurses on the floor.
Below are two must-listen-to audios that give you the truth about Obamacare - and it should scare the hell out of every American.
Via Nice Deb:
‘I listened to substitute host, Raymond Arroyo interview her, this morning on the Laura Ingraham Show, and she didn't mince words - Obama is lying about ObamaCare. (Shut up! Obama's lying?!) You will NOT get to keep your health care if you're satisfied with it. It's a point she's making on talk show after talk show. She also said that the AARP is doing seniors a huge disservice in advocating of nationalized healthcare. She says the rationing that will take place will hurt them the most. These bills do little to cut waste and fraud as promised but would throw billions of dollars toward shady and undefined enterprises such as "community reinvestment".
Here she is on the Mark Levin Show on the 17th‘:
Also via Nice Deb, here's Betsy during her appears on the Fred Thompson Show:
‘... after reading the new House bill, which she characterizes as a vicious assault on the elderly and boomer generation:
"On page 425, the Congress would make it mandatory, absolutely required that every five years, people in Medicare have a required counseling session that will tell them how to end their life sooner: how to decline nutrition, how to decline hydration, how to go into hospice care...and by the way, the bill expressly says that if you get sick, somewhere in that five year period, if you get a cancer diagnosis, for example, you have to go through that session, again....all to do what's in societies best interest, or your family's best interest and cut your life short...these are such sacred issues of life and death - government should have nothing to do with it".’
Scary enough for you?
Philip Klein has more on Obama's health care lies, and it supports McCaughey's analysis that many more people are going to be cared for - treatments are going to be in short supply, there are going to be longer waits, and fewer nurses on the floor.: Study: 83 Mln Would Lose Private Health Coverage Under House Dem Plan.
Readers will find more information at McCaughey's website, Defend Your HealthCare.
In a related note, in spite of Democratic chairman of the Committee on Education and Labor, George Miller, having issued a press release this morning saying that "CBO Scores Confirms Deficit Neutrality of Health Reform Bill," his statement doesn't hold up under the light of day. Donald Marron over at dmarron.com has deconstructed the bogus claim, and backs it up with charts and good explanations (House Bill Fails Budget Tests).
It seems that Obama and the Democrats in Congress that support Obamacare just can't stop themselves from lying and distorting the facts every way possible in order to support their health care-destroyin, economy-busting, nanny state agenda.”

Don't believe the Democrats!
Don't believe Obama!
Don't believe AARP!
Believe US, the Religious Rightwingnuts!
WE know what the truth is.
We know that the Evil Democrats have killed all your unborn children, and now they want to kill your parents, too!
They're building a massive BBQ pit just outside Cambridge. (You know, where the uppity n****r yelled at that poor WHITE police officer.) And they're going to roast your granny and serve her at their Labor Day picnic.
But, if we work together we can stop them.
WE have a plan.
It's called "Do Nothing". We've had a lot of success with that over the last 50-60 years.
So trust US!
(I honestly don't know about Obamacare, but I'm pretty sure reading your propaganda is hazardous to one's health.)
Sounds like Betsy McCaughey is a lying little rightwingnut.
It's downright criminal for these rightwingnuts to just flat oout lie to people, and get elderly folks scared over nothing! Dick Cheney-style scare tactics, once again.
Read the truth:
"But proponents of the end-of-life care measure say it does nothing close to what McCaughey, Thompson, Boehner and others assert.
The provision would require Medicare to cover advanced care consultations for the first time, but it does not mandate individuals to take advantage of the benefit, proponents say. The consultations would take place between the patient and a doctor or nurse practitioner, not a government bureaucrat. And there would be no requirement for the individual to sign a directive or living will at the end of the discussion.
"This measure would not only help people make the best decisions for themselves but also better ensure that their wishes are followed," AARP Executive Vice President John Rother said in a statement. "To suggest otherwise is a gross, and even cruel, distortion — especially for any family that has been forced to make the difficult decisions on care for loved ones approaching the end of their lives."
Jon Keyserling, vice president for public policy and counsel at the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, said: “I was surprised that any responsible legislative analyst would indicate this is a mandatory provision. That is just a misreading of the language and, certainly, of the intent.”

If the rightwingnuts have to lie so blatantly to try to kill this reform, what does it tell you?
BTW, not that you care, but I looked up the provision myself, just now. All it does is add these services to a list of expenses that may be paid under Medicare. It doesn't compel ANYONE at ANY time to sit through such a consultation if they don't want to. It mrely says, if you want it, Medicare will pay for it, but not more than once every 5 years (unless you have a radical change in your medical condition in the meantime).
Since those kind of services aren't technically treatment of a medical condition, they wouldn't normally be paid under Medicare. All this proposal does is pay for it IF YOU WANT IT.
And these lying scumbags are trying to scare seniors. Truth and facts don't matter to them anymore; they want this defeated at all costs, and they're willling to do or say anything to aid their misbegotten cause.
