Is this really Health Care Reform? I doubt it? So many pages to read. Who has really read it? I doubt that anyone who mentions page numbers has read much of anything since most bills come in sections, articles and line numbers. Regardless, if this bill were about health care I think Congress would be willing to take it a bit slower and do it in pieces. One caution I find – is this is a secret way to deal with immigration? If this bill is passed, will we have to show citizenship papers to get health care? (There are thousand just across the border waiting). Remember it was just a few days ago that it was mentioned that one would have to have a Universal Card to get a job. That was mentioned and then it was zapped from the news. What happened? In the past there was a country that forced its citizens to carry papers -REMEMBER. Oh perhaps only those of us in the winter of our years remember that.
In the matter of the “Alabama Isis Bride” does it really matter to her parents if she returns to the United States under any punishment conditions? I wonder if her parents would be fighting for her to come back to the United States if her child were a girl? Just asking. I wonder if the whole matter is in her interest or the interest of her son.
Let’s face it, there are entirely too many sickly seniors draining our health care system. These seniors are no longer productive and are not only costing a fortune in health care but are also draining our social security system. If these seniors were to be given a pain pill instead of expensive and painful surgery, our health care system would save the money we need to ensure the younger generation who would be productive. When the subject about giving the elderly a pain pill instead of expensive and painful surgery was discussed during ABC’s presentation, I thought the president must have studied some actuarial tables. I have often wondered if research in the field of cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease as well as stem cell therapy had been underfunded because of the desire to keep older non-productive populations from growing.
If you happen to be a Star Trekker you know that the episodes in the first series told “fables.” One of those episodes about seniors comes to mind. It seemed that in this particular civilization where Captain Kirk and company found themselves a person who reached a certain old age was required to “celebrate” this particular birthday by getting into a capsule which was then jettisoned into space thereby leaving the person to die regardless of their health or any other circumstance. I am afraid that with the so-called government health care plan seniors will not be jettisoned into space but will instead be the ones with the rationed care or be given “The Pill”.
