Saving Costs on Health Care

Clear back in the campaigning days when tempers flared and logic was set at the side of the road for rhetoric, I took a hopefully unbiased view, as much as a die-hard Republican can, at the two platforms for health care reform. I used quotes from each candidate's website and analyized them. I was wrong when I examined one statement and the new healthcare bill demonstrates just how wrong I was.

The quote from the site read, "Reduce the costs of catastrophic illnesses for employers and their employees."

I mocked those words, not knowing what really was intended. The health care reform requires seniors, on their 65th birthday, to get counseling on ways to end your life. It's required every 5 years and then if you're diagnosed with a terminal disease.

Does this sound outrageous? Don't take my word for it, listen to the expert in the interview on the Fred Thompson radio Program. Besides that there's a formula that takes age into consideration when offering treatment. This means that no matter how much the senior donated to society, a 23 year old gang member that killed children, robbed stores and hurt kittens would get treatment before the hard working elderly patient. You couldn't even get treatment if you paid for it yourself. Basic health care wouldn't be given to people with incurable diseases or dementia. So, if Mom has a painful but easy to cure infection, let her die. She's old and dispensible.

Of course, the proponents of the plan say you can keep your old plan if you wish. That's not true. You'll be relegated to an HMO plan at a higher cost. Guess who's the only one that gets to keep their plans. Federal employees, including the Congress. Their lives are far more valuable...or....are they worried about what's going to happen to them after they die and want to postpone the warm environment as long as possible.

What if the senior decides they don't want the counseling? I for one, will never attend. If I did, I would be sarcastic and I'm sure, labeled as a bad seed!! Is the government going to arrest the seniors that protest in this education on self destruction? That would be a good thing. If they're all sent to prison, at least they'll get free health care.

First, the society falls when it loses touch with God. The next step is just a tiptoe away, killing it's weak and elderly.
