Throw Momma Under The Bus
Greg Hengler at Townhall.com posted video of Obama Health Care policy advisor Stuart Altman's testimony in the Senate.
Get that - the elderly are not cost effective. Are you willing to throw your momma under the wheels of the Hope and Change express just so you can have YOUR health care today? Will you sit quietly by when your children do the same thing TO YOU??? That is where we are headed people. Are you ready?

Of course the elderly aren't cost effective - they're old and they get sick. That's why no one other than Medicare will insure them.
But you hate "socialized medicine" so again we ask if you're willing to take your parents off the evil Medicare?

Because of the efficiencies of government everyone will be off Medicare in about 25 years, whether they want to be or not.

Back in the days before "benevolent government" came into vogue, the elderly WERE insurable in the sense that they were taken care of. Private doctors consistently gave discounts to the elderly and the indigent.
It's a funny thing how this works, but all that beneficence somehow began to dry up at exactly the same time as Medicare and Medicaid were hatched. Doctors said, "fine, I'll let the government worry about that." And the love of many began to wax colder and colder as the stone-cold hand of government began to screw it up.
Medicare and medicaid will NEVER work, because they are based on government largess. People will almost always use government medicaid benefits inefficiently-- in much the same way that a stretch of freeway near where I live that is being repaved after only a year simply because the state of Utah got extra money from the most recent federal stimulus plan.
If a society loses its true benevolence, it is lunacy to expect that that same society's government can somehow compensate for the loss. Rather than inventing socialist programs such as medicare and medicaid, which ultimately make the problem worse, government leaders from local to federal should regularly mount their bully pulpits and warn the people what will happen if we forget the importance of that one simple concept that Christ taught--understanding "who is my neighbor?"
