  1. Sans health insurance. I’m paying the fine this year. Maybe.

  3. The leftards are pushing hard for doctor death squads here too. The other week there was some nutjob leftist who decided to kill herself and blogged about it. The blog splains her reasons for doing it and most of them revolve around how much a burden she would have been on “the system” so being a good leftist she killed herself so some bum can get healthcare for free. Anyway they’re pushing for everyone to sign up their irrevocable death consent form ahead of time to hypothesize about what your state of mind could be if you get some kind of illness. If you fill one out best of luck to you sucka.

  4. “This is killing people off for the hospital bed.”
    Look beyond the bed. In Canada, it’s done for the raise in pay and benefits for healthcare workers. Might be the same in the U.S.

  5. The Obama-Care Insurance Premium INCREASE will shock everyone. The administration is bribing Insurance Companies to delay the increases until after the mid-terms.
    You can’t double the coverage without doubling the cost, because they can’t modify Medicaid (Free) billing practices by all the States. The States that allowed the Feds to modify their Medicaid will be hardest hit.
    Steal the Money from the Medicare Trust, Obama has taken all the Social Security disability (same pot) money already to cover fraudulent claims when FED UI ran out. States like California don’t want to pay Welfare.

  6. Forgive me for being dense, but I always thought “death care panels” referred to a group of doctors and bureaucrats reviewing and refusing to allow treatment for terminal conditions that are deem more expensive than the life they are improving is worth.
    Having said that, is it me, or is it a major flip flop that lefties are now pushing a discussion with doctors about what amounts to the point at which someone consents to be euthanized at the end of their lives.

  7. The book “The Giver” explains what happens when you are no longer useful to society. It will be coming out as a movie soon probably for good reason. Is this where society is going? Is it that too many old and sick people cost society too much. Unfortunately war kills young people…so that’s not an option. What did they do with the old and sick years ago before there was expensive government healthcare.

  8. Death panels and pimping euthanasia?
    – Frig we had that way before the yanks – they’re just dabblers at this state socialism population planning schtick.

  10. Anyway they’re pushing for everyone to sign up their irrevocable death consent form ahead of time to hypothesize about what your state of mind could be if you get some kind of illness.
    Yeah, I was given one of those. It went in the garbage on the way out. Let them do their damnedest, but I’m not going to make it easier for them.

  11. “…so being a good leftist she killed herself …”
    I am trying hard to think for a reason why I would disapprove.

  12. “The book “The Giver” explains what happens when you are no longer useful to society.”
    You get a job at the public sector?

  14. Laura were you born just the other day?
    Let me clear something up for you:
    At the turn of the 20th century, the average lifespan in an industrialized nation like Britain was 39 years.
    By the mid 1930’s it was closer to 60 years and has steadily increased since then due mostly to increased sanitation, better nutrition, and improved medical procedures.

  15. Family members took care of them. I did with my 84year old mother, who died a natural death in her own bed. I was investigated for elder abuse because no one dies at home anymore – either at hospital, hooked up to tubes or in a fiery death via car accident.

  16. if I’m going to become a shelf potato and no longer have reasonable life quality, then I want the option to end it. If my brain quits before I can “off” myself in such a case then I was to be able to instruct those in control to do it for me. This bullshit of “breathing” at all costs needs to end.

  17. This is coming to Canada: it’s more beneficial economically to off “non-productive” seniors than to nurture them through their last days. Big Momma: my mother and aunt nursed their mother through her last days at home, but they were both RN’s and that was back in the day. We nurtured my aunt and mother through their last days; my family, as the family-on-call for many years, has suffered (myself particularly: when we were trying to cope with my mother at home with ‘help’, the family question was very much ‘who gets carted off to the hospital first: Mum or Granny’. It was Granny, but it was a close call). All that said, I remember only with gratitude the days our family were able to spend with my Aunt and Mother, even though my health has suffered.
    That being said, I rather doubt our children will even be given the options I was (for treatment for Aunt and Mother) when we reach the stage when we are considered a “burden on the state”. Forget all the year we have sacrificed and worked hard: it’s not going to matter in the end.

  18. If my brain quits before I can “off” myself in such a case then I was to be able to instruct those in control to do it for me.
    Heh, I’m glad you trust the subjective interpretation of your wishes by some state controlled doctor…doesn’t matter anyway, they’ll just get a court order if you drag on too long.

  19. I always thought “death care panels” referred to a group of doctors and bureaucrats reviewing and refusing to allow treatment for terminal conditions that are deem more expensive than the life they are improving is worth.
    Exactly true. All the state owes you is free morphine to ease the suffering. If the relatives want to keep their vegetable elder on life support then they can pay for it, not the taxpayers.

  20. Ehmmm, right, good luck then, I am certain that some quota feeling apparatchik will match your definition of “reasonable life quality”.

  21. “If my brain quits before I can “off” myself in such a case then I was to be able to instruct those in control to do it for me.”
    Doctors have been murdering people that they have deemed to be brain dead since the 1980s to harvest their organs and sew them into other people.

    He makes the perfect, over officious, self-righteous, little bureaucrat. Very likely also has a fallen chest…

  26. End-of-life decisions have to be made. Keeping Grandma alive against all hope for an extra week at a cost of $2 million bucks is not something we can keep doing forever, particularly in a Communist medical system such as we have in Canada.
    “Do everything” is not a treatment decision so much as it is a lingering torture. Ask any doctor, they ALL have end-of-life wills made up that say “DO NOT resuscitate!!”
    That being said, minions of the government are the very last people who should be making these decisions. But that’s who we have doing it. Currently the default government decision is “do everything” because its easier. When “do nothing” becomes easier, that’s what they will do.
    So its a good time to remember that you can’t BUY medical treatment in Canada. Because Communism. Plan accordingly.

  27. I’ll be laughing all the way to the grave, helping break a communist system…that’s the only way to deal with such systems. Just like the ussr…spend them into the grave.
