Some quotes on the health care debate

[The Straight Story]

This is from a link in the other thread I posted and felt it deserved it's own op,just a choice few from 277 comments in total so far:

R Johns says:

I have a 12 yr old grandson who is 100% pacemaker dependent. He has two check-ups a year (just checking the generator), every couple of years an echogram. What is his future in this new health care plan. Will he have to BEG for a pacemaker. When he reaches 65 (assuming the government ALLOWS him to do so) will he be able to get a new pacemaker then? He is old enough to know what his future is without a pacemaker and he hears the news and is scared to death.

If you don’t sign on to the government health care plan, you, as a tax paying law abiding U.S. citizen are fined $2,500 but if you are a non-U.S non–law abiding Mexican who jumps the border fence, you get free health care……the costs of which could have been appropriated for elderly U.S. citizens who spent their lives paying taxes and who now are relegated to what amounts to financial euthanasia!!! I am now questioning if I even want to be an American anymore. My God….how can you as fellow Americans elect people who even consider such laws!? God help us.

Leave it liberals in government to destroy what works for 80% in order to build something that doesn’t work for 96%. My God people, they are going to mandate health care for illegals in our country. Mexicans will be jumping the border by the millions and because of people like Obama, Rangal, Pelosi and the rest of these Marxists, we are going to be leaving a bankrupt country to our children and grandchildren. Some change.

John Smith says:

The “Constitutionalist” comment number 2 is correct. Survival of the fittest. Everyone needs to be able to take care of themselves. It has nothing to do with any religious principals, but using the ability that each of us has to educate ourselves, and actually work. It is not my job to support anyone other than myself, my family, and those who are truly in need of assistance. That does not include uneducated lazy losercrat socialist begging for money on the corner. I for one, and not going to take care of you.

Jo says:

It’s not what “UL” is telling you — it’s what they are NOT telling you, or leaving out of this discussion.

READ pages 425-430 — Consultation can and will result in a ORDER regarding life sustaining treatment — in other words the government CAN ORDER YOUR DEATH – in the event of a life threatening injury/illness.

Wake up America!

D. Wilson says:

My fear is that we as a nation have forgotten how to have a conversation without lying. Whether it was WMDs, “mushroom clouds over New York,” lying about using torture or lying about surveillance of American citizens, the end game seems to be to use whatever it takes to mislead the people. The currents false attacks on health reform, when a majority of people favor it and a majority want a public health option is just one more example of having our democracy slip away. Who ever can yell the loudest is not informed discussion. It is the method used Hitler’s Brown Shirts.
