Subject: Obama Care to be funded on on the back of Medicare RecipientsAs you discuss Obama Care with your friends, particularly the ones over 65, have a grasp on plans to fund the program. This link covers it about as well as any I’ve found. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/06/13/obama-proposes-new-cuts-federal-spending-health-reform/ The Bottom Line that is of the $1 Trillion Dollar 10 year estimate, between $300 Billion and $400 Billion is planned to come from Medicare cuts to hospitals and prescription drugs! This can only be accomplished by rationing care in some way. Does that mean no more bionic knees for those over say 70 years of age? Would it mean that Medicare will no longer pay the $18,000 a year for my wife’s Betaseron for her MS? Does that mean much higher co-pays for those of us on Medicare? Or does it simply mean that Doctors and Hospitals will refuse to take Medicare patients? I have several action links posted on my web page, http://www.rightoncolorado.com/ . However, the simplest and most effective is to simply pick up your phone or write emails to your Senators and Representatives. You are empowered to make a difference as hundreds of thousands of rational citizens are waking up and doing. Please act now to prevent the Obamatization and destruction of the health system and health research system that every other country in the world is envious of. Regardless of the lambskin that the fox is wearing today, the objective is destruction of an employer benefit/insurance system and replacement with a bureaucrat run single payer clone of the Canadian and British systems with all the efficiency of AMTRAK.
