On the way to work today, I was able to listen to Rush Limbaugh and I could not believe my ears. He was giving information that was contained in the Emergency Pork Spending Bill that has nothing to do with stimulus and everything to do with socialized medicine.
The bill creates a Health “Czar”. It is not called that in the bill, but that is effectively what it is. This Health Czar is supposed to put ALL medical records on a national database. After the records are on a national database, the Health Czar is to check to see that doctors are following prescribed procedures with patients. Unusual patients would be reviewed by a committee that would have the final say in the treatment for those unusual patients.
What this does is force everyone to follow one set of guidelines all across the country. It does not allow for individual treatment. It also sets financial criteria to determine if someone even gets treatment. The good part of this is that if you are visiting far from home, the doctors would have your records in an emergency. That is a rare situation. On the other hand, it causes a lot of people to not get treatment at all. The medical board would look at how long you have to live and determine if the treatment suggested is worth the effort. People would be expected to just accept the fact that they are going to die.
Tom Daschle set all this out in a book published about a year ago. He wants us to be more like the Europeans and accept death when we are faced with it. Americans fight against death up until the very last minute by trying every treatment under the sun. Europeans are prohibited from doing that by their socialized medical system. Tom Daschle wants us to do the same thing.
For as long as I can remember the Democrats get elected by saying the Republicans are going to take away elderly people’s Social Security and Medicare. Now the Democrats are taking away actual medical services and everyone is supposed to like it. Republicans never once made an effort to take any Social Security or Medicare away from elderly people. Democrats propose to actually take health care from elderly people. But, it is the Republicans that hate the elderly and want them to die. The Democrats are telling them to accept death and go off and die.
If this passes and an elderly person votes for a Democrat that person should be certified as brain dead. They have been sold a bill of goods by the Democrats for 40+ years and have bought into it. Now, when the Democrats finally have all the power they want they stick it to the elderly people that voted for them. I cannot believe that Democrats could be so stupid. Elderly people vote in greater numbers than younger people. But, I guess if they die off faster that demographic does not mean as much.
This Emergency Pork Spending Bill is full of other Democrat ideas like socialized medicine. The bill should be defeated and a real bill crafted. This Emergency Pork Spending Bill is nothing more than a Trojan Horse to destroy America. Anyone voting for this Trojan Horse should be voted out of office as someone not fit to hold an elected office. I do not care which party the person voting for the bill holds, if he/she votes for the bill it means that he/she has a desire to destroy America by turning it into something she is not.
