Obama to sick seniors: 'Go home and die' (Updated)

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Via the Collins Report there's more on the stark reality of the government controlled socialized medicine that up to recently had been hidden away in Obama's "spendulus" plan (emphasis mine):

Government controlled socialized medicine is in this bill. It creates a new government bureaucracy: the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology which will be entrusted with ALL of our medical records. Eventually bureaucrats will adopt Tom Daschle's "Meaningful user" designation to separate out those who will no longer receive health care because, by government standards, their terminal illness makes them unworthy of such treatment. "Meaningful user" means your doctor will have to justify your treatment when you're declared "terminally ill." It means a bureaucrat can say you don't deserve further medical care; go home and die.

Read it all, here.

Almost as disturbing as what this means for senior citizens is the fact that the majority of senators clearly couldn't have had time to actually read the entire stimulus and know all that's in it before voting on it, as evidenced by this video of a Fox News interview of Arlen Spector.
