He keeps insisting that we are all raging over this so I wonder if he is actually all huffy and puffy and assumes that we are as emotionally fragile as he is.

Unfortunately, I believe this is true.

But damn it all, I have no links or blogs to quote to prove it.

As usual, the most dangerous parts of ObamaCare aren't receiving the scrutiny they deserve—and one of the least examined is a new commission to tell Congress how to control health spending. Democrats are quietly attempting to impose a "global budget" on Medicare, with radical implications for U.S. medicine.

Like most of Europe, the various health bills stipulate that Congress will arbitrarily decide how much to spend on health care for seniors every year—and then invest an unelected board with extraordinary powers to dictate what is covered and how it will be paid for. White House budget director Peter Orszag calls this Medicare commission "critical to our fiscal future" and "one of the most potent reforms."
.......

Worse, it makes little room for medical innovations. The commission is mandated to go after "sources of excess cost growth," meaning treatments that are too expensive or whose coverage will boost spending. If researchers find a pricey treatment for Alzheimer's in 2020, that might be banned because it would add new costs and bust the global budget. Or it might decide that "Maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller," as President Obama put it in June.
.......

ehhhh....^ This isn't difficult to comprehend.

Is it wrong? Is it false? Is it Make-believe?

Please...explain to me in an intelligent way why this isn't true...THANX - K - BUHBYE

A little bit of truth with a little bit of taking comments out of context and then applying them to everything etc. It's just too difficult for you to interpret information is all. ;/

You weren't talking about a rationing panel, you were talking about a death panel who, in your lack of logic and knowledge, you accuse of carrying out a genocide. Plus you're the one who makes others laugh, I just help to provoke your work.

I am going straight to hell for this:

http://www.factcheck.org/2009/08/pal...-death-panels/

Read it Coolinator. Then tell me how this is biased toward the left. It is probably the most balanced treatment of this particular controversy to date. And not only does it provide dirct quotations from the parties involved (Obama, Palin to name two) but it also critiques the spin from BOTH sides of the aisle.

Say what you want about the Annenberg Foundation, this treatment is a lot more balanced and reasonable than any neo-conservative blog you care to quote.

There. I've done what you asked. Now "tear me to shreds". I promise to enjoy it.

When you ration care what does that do to the person who you are rationing? And what group or population of people will be affected by this rationing panel?

Of course not. You don't want to be shown that you're wrong.

This year, it is targeting such frivolous luxuries as knee replacements, spinal cord stimulation, a specialized autism therapy and MRIs of the abdomen, pelvis or breasts for cancer.
Here,

Let's make it simple.

What will happen to the people who don't get MRI's to check for cancer?

isn't this sort of irrelevant to the entire discussion of if universal health care will ruin the world?

Maybe you shoudl start another thread about preventative health care, because it has nothing to do with universal health care, really.

Quote:

Also irrelevant. Your entire argument is irrelevant. Basically, your qualm isn't even with universal health care but with health care in general, and even further the world ;/
You can apply this to the government too. STUFF ABoUt RATioniNg CARE GOVERNMENt. IT WILL AFFECT POPULACeS. SO LIKE MAYBE WE SHOULD DO AWAY WITH GOVERNMENTS ALL togetHER? your argument doesn't even boil down to doing away with it, your argument has no conclusion or proposed solution, really.

your arguments and concerns are hopelessly tragic, because for the most part your problem isn't with any specific system compared to another system, but the fact that they aren't perfect. Even if preventative medicine was used, there would still be some people who are getting hurt. Just like theleader is saying now, MRIs can actually hurt people. thus, your argument is even against preventative medicine and pretty much anything that doesn't have a perfect result.

Furthermore you have no concept of a "State of nature" which we are struggling against. I guess you are an optimist because ultimately you are presenting an anarchist/stuff argument which states that WITHOUT ANY SYSTEMS RATIONINg cARE HUMANITY WOULD BE PERFECT.

either that or you are just some douchebag who wants to GET US THINKING ABOUT THE ISSUES

he's saying if you don't ration out care than not everybody gets treated, because they end up treating people who didn't need it instead.
