Obama's plan bad for sick, old, all

After listening to radio talk shows and reading the newspapers and Internet articles I feel that there has not been an extermination program as despicable as the Obama health program since Hitler's final solution. Thanks to the Pied Piper of socialism, Obama and his group of self-serving socialists Pelosi, Franken, Reid and that list goes on.

If this government passes this health bill will it include the illegal aliens who at this point are draining our hospitals and doctors and putting a burden on our taxpayers. Instead of deporting and saving billions of dollars they are going to do two things. One is to grant amnesty and hope that they will help elect him again in 2012 and the second is to cut the benefits for the elderly so they will die sooner and save our government millions of dollars. They could install gas chambers but that would be too obvious.

Hospitals are required to take in the sick and injured, treat them no matter who they are. If the government gets involved and you are what may be considered too old you will be denied service or put on a waiting list that will insure your death along with counseling on the way to die. If you have a child that the government deems is too sick to pay for their health care that will be a death notice for that child. To those who are young today, you will pass that threshold someday and will be told how to die with dignity to help balance the budget.

I don't see any politician getting excited and getting their family ready for this new health care, not one of these people will be on this or will their family. It's easy to control others lives when you don't know them and they are not family. Ask your Congressman or Senator if they are going to change to the new health care. You can count on the ones saying yes are being as truthful about this as they were with their campaign promises.

If you think that the government won't start dictating how you are supposed to live then I refer you to a piece in the Herald on Aug. 8, 2009, where Washington wants the schools to stay open during the swine flu unless it is a "drastic case" and that the students should be allowed back into school as soon as 24 hours after the fever is gone. I guess from Washington standards it is better to wait for a crisis the error on the side of safety. This is not a person I want to lead this country and certainly not make the decision as to who lives or dies.
