All people 65 and older should be alarmed. People with parents, grandparents and loved ones who are elderly should be alarmed. You need to know the REAL facts of the Obama healthcare plan concerning the elderly.
A chief advisor to Obama is Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. Either in direct words or by clear implication Dr. Emanuel wants doctors to look beyond the needs of their patients and consider social justice, such as whether the money could be better spent on somebody else. He believes that "communitarianism" should guide decisions on who gets care. He says medical care should be reserved for the non-disabled, not given to those "who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens". Unbelievably, in order to reduce costs he clearly implies that those who are lesser to society such as the elderly should not be fully treated. He essentially favors a eugenics approach to healthcare. This is one of Obama's top advisors on healthcare!
Some leaders in the House of Representatives are confirming reports that the healthcare restructuring bill that the House is currently considering promotes euthanasia. Section 1233 of the House-drafted legislation encourages health care providers to provide their Medicare patients with counseling on ‘the use of artificially administered nutrition and hydration’ and other end of life treatments. They report that the counseling would be focused on telling seniors how to end their lives sooner. Page 425 of the legislation indicates that Congress would make it mandatory that every five years people in Medicare have a required counseling session where They will be told how to end their life sooner. A WorldNetDaily report indicates the bill calls for the recommendation of "palliative care and hospice" (rather than treatment) in the mandatory counseling sessions, which is pain relief as patients die.
The clear message to patients is to do what's in society's best interests, and cut your life short.The House healthcare reform bill proposes to decrease hospital visits by establishing a “medical home pilot program” for elderly and disabled Americans. These medical homes would dump Medicare/Medicaid patients in facilities that would not require a physician to be on the staff, and therefore could be run solely by nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Physicians’ group say the legislation could lead to restrictions on which treatments may be used to effectively help elderly patients.
President Obama has given a clear signal on what to expect in his April 14, 2009 interview where he stated, "That’s where I think you just get into some very difficult moral issues. The chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health- care bill out here." He went on further to say, shockingly, "What I've been constantly searching for is a ruthless pragmatism when it comes to economic policy." So much for the elderly.
Is this where we have arrived in America? The pure evil of the federal government acting as God, making decisions on who is worth medically treating and who dies? And further when a group of elderly people visit the office of Senator Dianne Feinstein in West Los Angeles to talk about healthcare and she calls the police on them. Is this the America of the future? A Police State?
The elderly should be fully informed on what to expect and be outraged. All people should be outraged. This isn't rumor, conjecture, opinion, or anything else. The reality of the Obama healthcare plan is that the elderly are expendable members of America society. They cost too much.
