While the magician diverts your attention with cost and abortion slight of hand, you may want to refocus back to the original threat of Obamacare if you are old, very sick or disabled. Just what do the men and women who surround Obama think your life is worth?

As this article says, "It’s easy for Obama to traipse around the country promising that his health-care scheme won’t 'pull the plug on Granny.' He certainly won’t be doing it. The bureaucracy he set up will do it for him."

The moths are all too amazed by the bright light to see anything else. Shouldn't need to ask more than one question. How do we pay for it? Since most Americans do not want this new plan, we should be done talking about it.

Nonsense. The older and more disabled you get the more money will be spent on you because bureaucrats justify their jobs by spending money. The bureaucrats will cherish the elderly and disabled. Running a health care bureaucracy in a healthy society would not provide enough room for promotion or enough power for kickbacks.

Oh...okay.it's a COMMENTARY.

Those are sort of like elbows, everybody has one.

Once I saw the "rationing of medical care","the young getting better care at the expense of the elderly", etc, etc. this commentary got the proper attenton it deserved.

If we spend 500 Billion less on Medicare, then the elderly and disabled will be getting better care.

Makes perfect sense...... in bizarro world.

OH OH Killing Granny Killing Granny Sqawk! Sqawk! ! Death Panels Deayh Panels Sarah Said so Sarah Said so! Sqawk! Yawk!


Repubs are so funny...they prefer paying more and more of their money to CEOs and insurance companies for less and less care and REAL death panels rather than have end of life counseling paid for (THE TRUTH ABOUT OBAMA'S health care plan).

They rather pay higher and higher premiums to CEO for their billion dollar wages and bonuses than have a penny go to anyone they don't approve of....it's the brain dead "dog in the manger " syndrome...poor dopes....too bad they enjoy ruining it for others ...but that really is the Republican motto and VALUE......

You do realize that the language prohibiting the rationing of healthcare was removed from the bill that passed the House, right?

Prohibition against rationing removed from health care bill:

Obamas health care plan is just like the private insurance plans....

It only wants the young and healthy...

Wow, have you been sold a stinker. Premiums go UP under the Dems' plan.
CBO: Public option premiums higher than private plans

Insurance and pharma companies GAIN under the Dems' plan.
Insurers poised to reap benefits from healthcare overhaul -- latimes.com
How Big Pharma Wins From Healthcare Reform - Rick Newman (usnews.com)

Why are the Dems pushing a bill that benefits insurance and pharma at our expense? They're working with lobbyists. The Washington Post explains it at WhoRunsGov.com:
