Merry X'mas To All http://foxtrotters.tripod.com/reindeer.gif

A:

Coming to your mailbox,
the scariest letter of your life...



The letter will arrive in a long white envelope postmarked Washington, D.C.

Inside, you'll be informed that, because of your age and in accordance with new U.S. healthcare policy (Obamacare), it is now time to discuss your "advance care options" with government "healthcare planning consultants."

Your letter will also advise that henceforth every five years -- or sooner if you're diagnosed with a serious illness -- this panel of government-selected doctors and experts will "assist" you in making further medical decisions.

Are you outraged yet? Keep reading, it gets worse...

Who will these doctors and so-called "experts" be? Perhaps some of them will be colleagues of Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and a key formulator of Obamacare.

Dr. Emanuel has some pretty scary ideas about healthcare and how it should be rationed. The good doctor doesn't actually say "healthcare rationing" -- he prefers "healthcare allocation." But it means exactly the same thing.

Nor does Dr, Emanuel admit he's in favor of "death panels." (A term Sarah Palin has been excoriated for using.) Instead he chooses to call it "end of life consultation." If that sounds like a bunch of government bureaucrats making life or death decisions about people other than themselves, it's because that's exactly what it is.

Shocked? My friend, that's just the tip of the iceberg. The lies and deceptions President Obama and his liberal backers are telling us about Obamacare run deep and dangerous, submerged beneath an ocean of government double-speak.

There are many more reasons why this monstrous, evil plan must be stopped.

If Obamacare passes...

  • MEDICARE WILL BE SLASHED. To pay for his government healthcare behemoth, Obama admits he'll have to cut $500 billion from Medicare. How can he chop that much without reducing medical services to seniors? He can't. It's fiscally impossible. Medicare services will have to be cut.
  • YOU'LL LOSE YOUR CURRENT COVERAGE. Truth is, Obama's plan is designed to eliminate employer coverage. He's acknowledged it, but only to fellow liberals. When the "public option" forces private insurers out of the market, odds are you'll be shoved into a government plan.
  • YOU'LL LOSE YOUR CURRENT DOCTOR. Once the government plan is reality and you've been forced to participate, it's a virtual certainty you'll lose your doctor. In fact, the more skilled your physician is, the more likely he or she will shun working for the government. Obamacare won't take your doctor away. Obamacare will drive your doctor away.
  • ILLEGALS WILL GET FREE HEALTHCARE. Despite what Obama says, none of the Democratic bills prohibits coverage for illegal aliens and all Republican attempts to exclude such coverage for illegals have been rejected.
  • OBAMACARE WILL BANKRUPT AMERICA. Universal healthcare will add at least $1 trillion to the already mind-boggling deficit. Obama claims "eliminating waste and fraud" will save money -- a laughable assertion, since when has the government ever decreased its spending? In the end, Obama will slash Medicare and raise taxes, pleading he had no choice.
  • OBAMACARE WILL PAY FOR ABORTIONS. Obama calls this a "lie." But all Democratic plans call for payments for "reproductive services," a well-known euphemism for abortion. Plus, Obama's minions in Congress have rebuffed all amendments prohibiting coverage for abortions. You be the judge. What are the Democrats trying to hide?

Surprised? Now you know why I sent this urgent message asking you to help HUMAN EVENTS stop Obamacare now -- before it's too late.

The consultations about end of life are a good idea and should be encouraged.  I discussed end of life with my folks when I helped them review their wills.  It would have been better to discuss it with them and their doctor, now that I think back on it, and it would have been great if their doctor had suggested setting up this discussion.  That is what this law is trying to achieve.

Pat d -- I think that having the government reimburse my folks' family physician for having the conversation with them and me (since I would have to carry out their wishes), is a good idea.  This is what you are calling 'a meeting with the government', but it isnt that at all.
