That's the question that confronted me when I woke up this morning. How long before the Obama administration begins offering cash to Americans to trade in their older, less efficient, less environmentally friendly grandparents for newer, more efficient and possibly imported models? Seem far fetched? Not really. One of the biggest cost-saving measures contained in Obama's health care plan is the systematic elimination of medical treatment for the elderly. As well as "compassionate" "life-ending counseling sessions" to be forced upon the elderly. A polite and politically correct term for euthanasia. Is that a scare tactic? Not at all. It's how Obama and his henchmen think. Here's video of Obama espousing this philosophy. His own words. You don't need surgery, just take a pain pill and die.
Two Republican leaders in the House of Representatives are confirming reports that the health care restructuring bill the House is currently considering promotes euthanasia. A leading patients rights advocate is worried about the effects of the legislation.Watch.
Betsy McCaughey, the former New York lieutenant government who is now a patient's rights advocate, notes that the government-run health care plan would require "end of life" counseling for seniors.
In a statement sent to LifeNews.com House Republican Leader John Boehner Republican Policy Committee Chairman Thaddeus McCotter confirm those fears.
"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,'" the pair say.
So how long before we're being offered cash for grandpa? How much will we get? And who will replace them?
UPDATE: Eunice Kennedy Shriver is in critical condition and reportedly close to death. She has suffered numerous strokes over the past few years. How many life-ending counseling sessions do you think she has had to sit through? Anyone? Bueller?
I had to share this. Via Free Republic and The People's Cube.
