In Medicare (At least, for now...), you get to pick and choose.

In "O-care" - forget the choice...it will be made for you...

There's the difference.

Small.

But, final.

Why doesn't the mainstream media simply report these ideas as false. I wonder what the media would do if Palin stated that the Obama administration was going to arrange for the demon possession of its opponents.

It Bleeds, It Leads

Currently [even with a world collapse of the financial system in progress] there
Ain't enough Fodder for the Fourth Estate.
[The President and some members of Congress are "Taking Care of Business"]
'Nothing even remotely newsworthy in that ,
when compared to the IDIOCY that's being presented by Toadies,Lobbyists and other assorted Carbon Based Life Form Trash working at Republican behests.

Mr. Kerry,
The Semi-Demonic Possession has already taken place and is evident on the nightly news..."Right Wing-Nuts" however cannot be equated with Demons,
not bright enough to qualify...

They'd report, naturally. They'd have to.

You see, the liberal media reports on this death panel thing because they hate Obama. Wait a minute. Maybe it's because they report what sells, gets people talking, and gets people watching to see what who will say next.

It was reported in the papers that the "death options" are being tabled, or better yet, pulled from the legislation all together.

EOS.

Yeah...right!

This crap will creep right back in as soon as SOMETHING is passed...

Once the goobermint gets its tenticles in any healthcare and eliminates the competition...DPs will be all the rage...

And the first to try out the plan?

Anyone that held up the passage of "O-Care" to begin with...

Mandatory seat belt useage...anyone?

Demons aren’t as evil and therefore don’t resonate in the public view the way death committees do.

or something

yes! Nobody prepares you for your birth, why should you be prepared for your death?

That depends entirely on the content of the end of life counseling, and the size of the "big stick" that the counselor carries.

For one reason: Money. Senior citizens who have no end-of-life directive cost the healthcare system a lot of money.

I started reading the legislation...it's like trying to read a road-map for a country that you don't even want to be in...

Out of pure frustration, you'll throw your arms up (If they haven't taxed them off you first!) and let them decide how to treat you, if you qualify for the type of treatment they'll allow...

We are trading in the Insurance Interests and putting goobermint toadies and lackies in their place...

Like I said earlier...

Do you want someone checking your prostate that has a fear of you sueing his @ss off, or do you want someone that's checking your prostate that has no fear of you?

Answer that and you have your answer for who's in charge of your healthcare.

Pure nonsense. But I expected nothing less from you and your group of fear monger's.

The thing that amazes me the most is these people actually believe this crap. Incorporating a pack of lies into one's core belief systems seems to be the new hallmark of Republicanism, I miss the old days when they actually represented a valid set of rational views.
