It’s hilarious. And if being conservative means you have to buy into this absurd idea that healthcare wants to kill you to save money……

Then call me moderate. :)

No, you are more liberal then a moderate…but it has nothing to do with being conservative or a liberal, it is basic math and understanding the government.
A bureaucrat could care less if you live or die, they don’t care if you get the pills you need, they only care about following rules, and guidlines.

The irony is that the planet is not overpopulated…
It is something like you can place everyone in the world, in a 10 foot by 10 foot piece of land, and it would fill the state of Texas.
The rest of the world would be empty…

What’s with this “Share on Facebook” crap?

What happened to the “Send to a friend” (or whatever it was called) option?

I have no interest in Facebook, and neither do the people I want to send this post to.

How Progressive!!!!!!!

I’m guessing that this moron has already been blown to pieces in this thread, but I have to say this to her anyway:

AnninCA, what you call “absurd” is EXACTLY what happens in places like Canada and Britain. I grew up in the UK and I know exactly what goes on within socialized health care. It’s just ridiculous to hear libs in denial of the reality of what state health care is actually like. I hear this a lot: “Don’t be stupid, that doesn’t really happen….you’re just scaremongering” Well, it DOES happen. You really, really, really should know that. It’ll be even worse in this country due to the fact that the rationing will have to take into consideration the tens of millions of non-taxpaying illegals that the Democrats are hell bent on providing free health care for. And these people will consume, believe me.

My mother-in-law was just in surgery, when she signed the release they of course asked her if she wanted to choose “do not resuscitate”. She answered “Why would I want that?”

Somewhat OT:
Has anyone noticed that the retirement age is increasing whle Obamacare needs to institute age-based rationing to contain costs ala GB and Canada?
Is there some tipping point at which it is better to keep a job with health care and not retire to no health care? What a savings to the government if you die before you can collect retirement.

So the story is a year old. Anyone take the time to see if this lady is still alive? If so she could do a public speaking tour on Obamacare, and probably make enough money to pay for here meds without the insurance.

If you really want to be paranoid, you should view the 1976 science fiction movie Logan’s Run.

In the movie, the answer to world overpopulation was to kill everyone when they reach 30 years of age.
