Death Sentence

If you highlight the first paragraph and paste it into google search, you will get an idea where this writing may have come from.  It seems it originated in some discussion group.

I had one of the most troubling, most disturbing conversations ever with ulie's sister-in-law, Dr. Suzanne Allen, head of emergency services at the Johnson City Medical Center in Tennessee. We were discussing the "future" and I asked her had she seen an affects of Obama Care in her work?

"Oh, yes. We are seeing cutbacks throughout the services we provide. For example, we are now having to deal with patients who would normally receive dialysis can no longer be accepted. In the past, there was always automatic approval under Medicare for anyone who needed dialysis -- not anymore." So, what will be their outcome? "They will die soon without dialysis," she stated.

What about other services? She indicated as of 2013 (after the election), no one over 75 will be given major medical procedures unless approved by locally administered Ethics Panels. These Panels will determine whether a patient receives medical treatment or not. While details on specific operating procedures and schedules, Dr. Allen points out that most life-threatening emergencies do not occur during normal hospital business hours, and if there are emergencies that depend to be resolve within minutes or just few hours, the likely hood of getting these Panels approval in time to save a life are going to be very challenging and difficult, if not impossible she said.

This applies to major operations such as receiving stents, bypass surgery, kidney operations, or treating for an aneurysm that would be normally covered under Medicare today. In other words, if you needed a life-saving operation, Medicare will not provide coverage anymore after 2013 if you are
75 or over. When in 2013? "We haven't been given a specific date -- could be in January or July..but it's after the election."

This is shocking to any of us who will be 75 this year. Her advice -- get healthy and stay healthy. We do not know the specifics of the actual implementation of the full Obama Care policies and procedures -- "they haven't filtered down to the local level yet. But we are already seeing severe cuts in what we provide to the elderly -- we refused dialysis to an individual who was 78 just the other day..we refused to give stents to a gentleman who was in his late 80s." Every day, she said, we are seeing these cutbacks aimed at reducing care across the board for anyone who is over 75.

We can only hope that Obama Care will be overturned by the Supreme Court -- otherwise, this is a death sentence to those who are over 75..perhaps you should pass this on to your friends who are thinking of voting for Obama this year.

Regardless if you have private health care coverage now (I have Aetna Medicare Part B) -- it will no longer apply after 2013 if the Ethics Panels disapprove of a procedure that may save your life. Scary, scary, scary. Think about this? You? Your parents? Your loved ones?

Didn't know about it? Of course, not. As Nancy Pelosi said.."well, if you want to know what's in the bill, you'll have to read it.." After it was passed.

This is a graphic reminder of the need to stay healthy. Get your plot now at Forest Lawn..while they last. Is this a death sentence to those of us who will reach 75? Yes!

My Thoughts....

There is a special place in HELL for those that support this kind of thinking...

  2. In point of fact jelly bean brain it is true. Obviously you didn't follow the advise and try to find it by googling it. As for SNOPES.COM their reliability is on a par with that of a monkey in a shit fight.

    Not only did a Congressman stand up when Obama was talking to the house and senate and said that there were no such panels and call him a liar, I have read all two thousand pages of that floating piece of shit and there ARE panels and committees. Also as a point of interest there is also a clause in it that authorizes the government to go into your personal bank accounts and take whatever they want and consider to be YOUR share for social welfare programs. Once you are no longer in the work force and cannot contribute to Obama Care you are dead weigh. Kiss your ass goodbye.

    In the meantime I suggest that before you open your hole inan effort to try and keep some one from discrediting that asshole in the White House, you make sure of your facts.

  3. So, does art imitate life or life imitate art? Anyone who's watched or read Logan's Run knows that life is now imitating art. Perhaps Anonymous would like to put his or her life on the line and test the O'BamaCare his or herself. Anonymous is proof that if you tell a life often enough 9NOT TO MENTION LOUD ENOUGH).....
