Does Obama health care promote Euthanasia, suicide for elderly?

President Obama has proven to be a president of action. He wants change, and he wants it now. The question is, at what cost to the American people? To afford this monster of a bill, cuts have to come from somewhere, and if passed in its current form, they will come in the form of cutting short the lives of our elderly via euthanasia. Is this a fair trade-off for the reduced cost of health care that Obama so dearly promotes?

The health care reform bill being kicked around by congress, is perhaps one of the most blatantly compromising pieces of legislation ever proposed. Enormous costs, miles of red tape and plunging approval ratings have Americans questioning whether the president has his head on straight.

The latest discovery, buried within the pages of the health reform bill, is in pages 425 to 430. Within these pages is a provision that would require all senior citizens over 65 to receive mandatory counseling to discuss “end of life”  issues. Mandatory! Every five years! The said counseling will teach the sick how to end their lives more rapidly, by refusing hydration and nourishment.

Wow, thank you Mr. President! We were promised transparency, and we’ve gotten it. This cleverly worded section of the bill makes quite clear that ending the lives of sick elderly citizens will be used as a tactic to free up money to provide lower health care costs to the masses. How many government trained counselors will need to be hired to treat America’s over-65 population of over 38-million (US Census Poll 2007)? Where will we come up with the money to pay their salaries?

Read this bill, write your congressional leaders and do not let America be taken over by a Government that cares only about change for the sake of popularity.

A few facts about what will happen if the health care reform bill is passed:

• Approximately 103 million people would be covered under the new public plan and, as a consequence, about 83.4 million people would lose their private insurance. This would represent a 48.4 percent reduction in the number of people with private coverage.
• About 88.1 million workers would see their current private, employer-sponsored health plan go away and would be shifted to the public plan.
• Yearly premiums for the typical American with private coverage could go up by as much as $460 per privately-insured person, as a result of increased cost-shifting stemming from a public plan modeled on Medicare

Has President Obama read this bill? If so, how dare he promote it in the midst of the worst recession in decades. This is Obama’s legacy, pass or fail.
