The actress Natasha Richardson died after falling skiing in Canada. It took eight hours to drive her to a hospital. If Canada had our healthcare she might be alive today. In the United States, we have medicalevacuation helicopters that would have gotten her to the hospital in 30 minutes.
In England anyone over 59 cannot receive heart repairs or stents or a bypass because it is not covered as being too expensive and not needed. Obama wants to have a healthcare system just like Canada's and England's.
I got this today and am sending it on. If Obama's plans in other areas don't scare you, this should.
Please do not let Obama sign senior death warrants. What if it was you, your spouse, your parents, or your grandparents?
Send this to every a senior citizen or about-to-be senior citizen in your address book.
Most of you know by now that the Senate version (at least) of the
"stimulus" Bill includes provisions for extensive rationing of health care
for senior citizens. It creates a three tier system: congress, sub-seniors and seniors in declining order of health care coverage.
The author of this part of the bill, former senator and tax evader, Tom Daschle was credited today by Bloomberg with the following statement: Daschle says "health-care reform will not be pain free. Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them." Doesn't that make you feel warm and toasty all over?
If this does not sufficiently raise your ire, just remember that our esteemed Senators and Congressmen have their own healthcare plan that is first dollar or very low co-pay which they are guaranteed the remainder of their lives and are not subject to this new law if it passes.
Please use the power of the Internet to get this message out. Talk it up at
the grassroots level. We have an election coming up in one year and nine
months. And we have the ability to address and reverse the dangerous direction the Obama administration and its allies have begun and in the interim, we can make a difference in Obama’s outrageous health care proposal: add all the uninsured and those with pre-existing conditions; reduce Medicare for seniors by $400 billion to help pay for it, cutoff treatment for seniors, and stiff those struggling with the costs of private plans with the additional burden.
This is why granny wants Obama to fail!
Obama’s success would be a disaster for this country’s health care and for seniors in articular. This hardly a racist sentiment and those who continue to characterize it as such are being disingenuous. They make the gross error of equating an Obama failure with a failure of our country. Instead of a failure it would be a victory and a success for the people who are America.
