Stealth and desensitization—the dumbing down of Americans

Were Christians in the 1990s just smarter about healthcare? They helped Republicans fight Hillarycare cooked up by the first lady and Ira Magaziner which included a section that would have denied insurance if parents refused to abort a child with disabilities. Yes, the party of choice. Now we have Hillarycare by stealth.

I don't know that this abomination is included in Obamacare (as it is 93% of Down Syndrome babies are aborted), but we don't know what's in it, do we? However, Christians who stayed home Nov. 6 gave us our current healthcare disaster. Obama could not have won without them.

"What most Americans don’t know is that IPAB [panel of bureaucrats, aka death panel] is set up to function exactly like the UK’s National Health Service rationing board known as NICE (National Institute of Clinical Excellence). NICE prevents doctors from prescribing state-of-the-art drugs for breast, stomach, lung, and prostate cancer or diseases like multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and many others, she explains." http://www.womenofgrace.com/blog/?p=19611

What Obama said about death guidance groups back in April

This was after he didn’t actually say what he would have done if told his Grandmother couldn’t have a hip replacement when she was terminally ill . . . He just said it would be upsetting. Well, yes, Mr. President. That‘s why people are showing up at Town Halls--it‘s upsetting. (At Bloomberg. Com April 29)

THE PRESIDENT: So that's where I think you just get into some very difficult moral issues. But that's also a huge driver of cost, right?
I mean, the chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health care bill out here.

LEONHARDT: So how do you - how do we deal with it?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think that there is going to have to be a conversation that is guided by doctors, scientists, ethicists. And then there is going to have to be a very difficult democratic conversation that takes place. It is very difficult to imagine the country making those decisions just through the normal political channels. And that's part of why you have to have some independent group that can give you guidance. It's not determinative, but I think has to be able to give you some guidance. And that's part of what I suspect you'll see emerging out of the various health care conversations that are taking place on the Hill right now.
