Reform won't help if you're sick, old

The health care reform bill does not matter! The Democrats and Obama are already killing Americans.

My wife has been on dialysis for both kidneys not functioning for a year now. She is also a diabetic. Trying to get a swine flu shot is impossible, and we were told at Centegra that because she was over 65 she did not qualify for a shot. Also it was stated that they could not give a 7 year old with cancer a shot. Why, are we useless people? Who has made the judgments these people have to abide by, which are obviously going to make people die? Why does age factor into this health care?

My father at 73 was diagnosed with lung cancer. The upper right lobe of his lung was removed and my father was around until he was 91 years old. Would the Obama government have allowed him to have this surgery and live another 18 years today? No, no, no they want to diminish the elder population to spread the wealth around by killing us off and saving our social security for other things or people!

My wife's dialysis providers in Antioch said they have not been able to get any anti-flu vaccines and were made to fill out paperwork that asked for every patient's age! Is this to not vaccinate people waiting for a kidney transplant that the government thinks are too old? And not worth the investment no matter how long they could live after their transplant, if they do not die of swine flu first?

Durbin, Burris, Obama, would you stand in front of your parents, or wife or child, and tell them they had to die because your health care rules state they are to old or too sick to allow them more health care to possibly live a longer life?
