Obama’s Health Plan Will End Medicare for Seniors



In that the Main Stream Media (MSM) refuses to print any information that is the least bit unfavorable for the Obama Administration, people looking for current news about what that tricky group is up to needs to get connected to this Canada Free Press, Conservative Online News Service and Fox News to remain current.

Support Canada Free Press


It’s a mystery to me how one man has so successfully turned the huge TV networks of ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC and practically all of the major national newspapers into absolute pawns and servants all bidding to promote his needs without regard to truth or deviousness. It’s more of a mystery why so many American citizens have allowed this to happen. Truth in reporting was once the mainstay mantra of our communications system; the most accurate in the world. Now if a news item is just a tad favorable to opponents of the president it is either not run, or run on a later basis or buried amongst afterthought items. I frequently get letters from readers throughout the United States saying that they so greatly appreciate the efforts of a Canadian news service bringing them news that their own news outlets will not carry. The once mighty New York Times, renowned for its extensive and unrelenting news coverage now is adrift in the shame of near or total bankruptcy all because it has ignored its responsibilities to the public to publish ALL of the news. Fox News is rapidly closing the gap with the other TV broadcast networks in the news ratings category simply because the DO present both sides of the news instead of just favoring one side as the others do. And you can always count of CFP to cover stories that MSM buries. Which brings me to my task this day with a very special message for the Senior Citizens of America as well as those who are about to become one of these respected and revered fellow community members.

Obama’s ‘Death Wish for Seniors’ Mandate

Under consideration at this time in the halls of Congress is a bill that will, in fact, destroy lives for a very large segment of our total population. It is called very simply, “Obama’s Health Care Proposal”, but for those who have read it thoroughly, if could also be called “Obama’s ‘Death Wish for Seniors’ Mandate.” One of the very first and most important considerations this bill encompasses is the addition of, in Congress’ estimation, up to 46 million residents of the country who for one reason or another do not have any medical insurance at all. Now, a lot of them have taken this path by choice; mostly younger people who just don’t want to pay for health premiums when they feel they just don’t need such coverage. There are others who by reason of not having any steady income by means of regular employment, simply can’t afford a health plan. And then last, but by no means, at the end of the line are anywhere from 12 to 20 million aliens in the country illegally, having broken our laws by sneaking across our very porous borders. But with this bill they’re all going to get it whether they want it or not. At this time in our country we have an adequate supply of medical personnel, doctors, nurses, technicians, etc. to cope with the needs of the citizens in just about every corner of our nation. With the passage of this bill by our Congress and signing by our President, it will create an immediate shortage of such medical personnel causing many legitimate citizens to go without or experience long delays in getting medical treatment. It’s simply a matter of not enough supply to take care of the suddenly greatly increased demand. That is, too few doctors and too many patients. One statistic I read recently said that in the US we have about 800,000 doctors to take care of about 150 million people. This can be done in most all cases without problems. That is roughly 180 patients per doctor, a very workable ratio. But adding almost 50 million more patients to the same number of doctors and their facilities is a recipe for disaster. Add to that the reduced fees that the government is planning to pay the doctors, and others choosing to leave the medical service, it all adds to the problem and discourages young people from becoming doctors. It would take many years, counting into decades perhaps, (if ever; look at Canada and Europe) to beef up the medical profession to accommodate all of these new patients; plus we have to consider the factor that many young people will decide against a career in medicine if such overburdened conditions are widespread. And, many current doctors may opt out of the profession under such circumstances. Obama has made comments, and in fact there are sections of the new bill, that medical treatment for senior citizens may have to be decreased and lessened to accommodate the needs of the many millions more people, including the illegal aliens who will be granted some form of amnesty and citizenship once they start receiving medical care from this bill. Medicare will cease to exist and government managed and rationed health care will seriously reduce the treatment and medicines the elderly need on a daily basis. This rationing of health care for senior citizens was first proposed by former Senator Tom Daschle who Obama had nominated to be his Secretary for Health and Human Services but who had to withdraw when serious personal tax delinquencies were uncovered, as also happened with several other Obama appointees, one of whom, Timothy Geithner who was still appointed as the Treasury Secretary in spite of his lawless actions. But the desire of President Obama to squeeze the elderly out of the medical attention they require will surely lead to a reduction in the numbers of elderly due to a lack of medical care. Even some of the more affluent seniors will not be able to buy private care as the doctor shortage, and potential new government regulations will not allow it. So quite frankly my friends, you and I are going to be up the proverbial creek without a paddle thanks to the charming and gracious and oh so friendly, Barack Hussein Obama and his population thinning plans. Can we take the chance that it will not happen? No way. It WILL happen unless all of us immediately contact our two Senators, Gregg and Shaheen along with our Representative Carol Shea-Porter and tell them to vote NO on Obama’s Health Care Proposal. Don’t listen to their phony stories on how it won’t happen; if the bill passes IT HAS TO HAPPEN. Your life may depend on it.
