Stimulus = Health care control

[Rastus]

Daschle the dog, is given credit for being behind this effort.  There's a link on Drudge to Bloomberg (yeah, that one) which quotes him as saying that the doctors have been working as "independent operators" too long.  Also, did ya'll note that there is going to be a federal database with EVERYONE'S medical data in it.

Our nation is dying.  At first a few aggravating symptoms, now appearing to move more swiftly into actual pain and debilitation. 

Damn these liberals.  Damn their lies.  Damn their efforts to enslave us.

Maybe the libs expect us old folk to just wander off like the old Eskimos did into the wilderness and let the wolves take care of us. Would save a ton of money that way, right?

Rastus, glad to see you posted. I admit ignorance on the geography of OK, heard about the bad tornadoes south of OK City, hoped you were out of the line of fire.

  So I guess that when you reach a certain age you are on your own and will be let out to die? What A great nation we are.
 Do the older people have to dig there own grave also? How old is old? who decides?

 How is this stimulus? 

Let out to die would be the better option I see here. 

More likely when you reach that certain age and are deemed a burden to your society, you will be encouraged to to "do the right thing" and end it all.  Do it for "the Childern". 

Soylent Green, was the movie, based on the book "Make Room, Make Room" by Harry Harrison.

It was a 1973 movie set in 2022....

These problems don't pop up all of a sudden out of no where. My question is where was we the people when such things as the Health Education and Welfare Dept. was created, the FDA, the office of U.S. Surgeon General was created, etc.?
Intervention in the field of health by the Federal government has been going on for a long time, it is wrong in principle, but it has been consistently supported by both major political parties. We the people could have and should have said no a long time ago. When the federal government is allowed to set a precedent the battle is already lost or at least it will be an uphill fight, it is a little late to start whining now.

The "Office of the Surgeon General has in one form or another been around since 1798.
The FDA was signed into law by Teddy Roosevelt in 1906.

Yes, but now we are faced with govt data basing your medical and family medical history...... govt being the decision maker of who gets health care and how much, with the primary focus being cost effectiveness.... rationing health care for the elderly because they dont have long to live anyway....... govt standing in the way of medical research so that life expectancy will decrease.... and govt monitoring what Drs can and can not do. This should scare the hell out of every American but those 3 GOP senators that voted this through had their heads in the sand - especially Arlen Specter who says "govt wont do that":

This has been shoved in through the back door (pun intended) and has taken us drastically into socialized medicine without open debate and without many Americans even knowing this happened. The culture war has just taken a dramatic shift, and what it now means to be an American is vastly different.

As Jay said on another thread.... We are now nothing more then livestock to those blowhards in Washington.

Here is another idiot Senator who had his head in the sand. Jon Tester (D-MT) has a hard time believing such a thing could exist...... You might want to start reading the things you are voting for, Senator.

As Jay said on another thread.... We are now nothing more than (for now) well-armed livestock to those blowhards in Washington. 

Fixed that one too!
