This administration feels that seniors are just taking up space

Senior status is something we all face (IF we're lucky), so read this. Especially note Daschle's statement about the elderly! Then forward, like I'm doing! Guess we'd best start praying that this health care plan fails like Hillary's did ........... ........
WHAT A SHAME !

Most of you know by now that the Senate version (at least) of the "stimulus" bill includes provisions for extensive rationing of health care for senior citizens. The author of this part of the bill, former senator and tax evader, Tom Daschle was credited today by Bloomberg with the following statement. 

Bloomberg: "Daschle says health-care reform will not be pain free. Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them." 

If this does not sufficiently raise your ire, just remember that Senators and Congressmen have their own healthcare plan that is first dollar or very low co-pay which they are guaranteed the remainder of their lives and are not subject to this new law if it passes. 

Please use the power of the internet to get this message out. Talk it up at the grassroots level. We have an election coming up in one year and nine months. We have the ability to address and reverse the dangerous direction the Obama administration and it's allies have begun and in the interim, we can make their lives miserable. Lets do it!

That is untrue, Here's the real facts:

The story about the lack of ability to get the stents due to age is a misnomer. The real fact is that anyone at any age has to wait months to be seen by a specialist. If you have a serious condition you may died before the specialist can see you. By the way, this comes from a friend who is Canadian and lives and works here because our health care is better. He had missed living in Canada and wanted to return but his son needs medical attention which he couldn't get in Canada because of the delays but because of our insurance his son is able to get the care he needs.

If you wonder what Obama care would be like all you have to is to imagine Kaiser run by the DMV/Social Security Office but worse!!!!

I don't care if you're left or right or which administration is in office, the government cannot run anything effectively!!!!!!!!

Oh the joy of visiting the CA DMV. Get in the info line for 45 min, get a #, wait for 2hrs to get to another window, fill out a little paperwork then sit again for 45min, then fill out some more paperwork and go to another window. 4hrs later all taken care of.

And I tried the reservation bs.

And they want to run healthcare? sphss

My point exactly...can you imagine the doctors in the ER when a GSW comes in.."sorry, I haven't had my break yet and it's my turn. just lay there and relax, I'll be back in a few minutes."
