Obama's Plan Would Repeal Medicare‏

The AARP and other senior advocacy groups have done their membership a major disservice. Nothing like looking out for your dues payers, heh? I mean, every democrat pushing this plan, Obama, Kennedy, Pelosi, Reid, et al have claimed, in fact bragged “we will fund Obama care through savings in Medicare.” How do you realize billions in Medicare savings? YOU CUT SERVICES, LOTS OF THEM and since Medicare is the government senior health insurance program, well, who do you think will be affected by the service cuts? (scroll down)

President Barack Obama's healthcare proposal is, in effect, the repeal of the Medicare program as we know it. The elderly will go from being the group with the most access to free medical care to the one with the least access. Indeed, the principal impact of the Obama healthcare program will be to reduce sharply the medical services the elderly can use. No longer will their every medical need be met, their every medication prescribed, their every need to improve their quality of life answered. It is so ironic that the elderly, who were so vigilant when President George W. Bush proposed to change Social Security, are so relaxed about the Obama healthcare proposals. Bush's Social Security plan, which did not cut their benefits at all, aroused the strongest opposition among the elderly. But Obama's plan, which will totally gut Medicare and replace it with government-managed care and rationing, has elicited little more than a yawn from most senior citizens. It's time for the elderly to wake up before it is too late! In our new book, “Catastrophe,” we explain — in detail and in depth — the consequences the elderly of Canada are feeling from just this kind of program. Limited colonoscopies have led to a 25 percent higher rate of colon cancer, and a ban on the use of the two best chemotherapies are part of the reason why 42 percent of Canadians with colon cancer die while 31 percent of Americans, who have access to these two medications, succumb to the disease.
