Sarah Palin WAS RIGHT

Folks, Sarah Palin is almost ALWAYS right! When will people get that through their thick heads? One of the reasons you can KNOW this is by seeing and hearing how the state run media is always hammering her. They will let us know who they fear by the way they downgrade and vilify someone.

Are you surprised? I'm not. This is a part of "bioethics." Not far removed from "ethnic cleansing" but instead of race, it's health. Supposedly they know which "unit" is worthy of life and which is not. This is just the beginning, if they have their way. It's inhuman and indeed, unhuman. Straight from the depths of hell.

Below is a statement you may find interesting: Washington, DC – On November 22, 2011, an individual claiming to be a “brain surgeon” made several statements referencing neurosurgical care on a Mark Levin radio show segment. The American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) and the Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS)reviewed this segment and found that it contained several factual inaccuracies which we wish to clarify. The AANS and CNS are unaware of any federal government document directing that advanced neurosurgery for patients over 70 years of age will not be indicated and only supportive care treatment will be provided. Furthermore, in conducting our own due diligence, the caller who identified himself as a brain surgeon is not actually a neurosurgeon, nor was there any session at the recent Congress of Neurological Surgeons’ scientific meeting in Washington, DC at which a purported government document calling for the rationing of neurosurgical care was discussed. Neurosurgeons are committed to providing timely, compassionate, and state of the art treatment for all patients -- regardless of age -- who have neurosurgical conditions. As such, we have requested numerous times that this podcast be removed from Mark Levin’s website as it portrays inaccurate information which could potentially be harmful to the patients that we serve. http://www.aans.org/pdf/AANS_News/Mark_Levin_Statement_FINAL.PDF According to this both the AANS and the CNS say these claims are inaccurate. In fact, the person who called in to Mark Levin's radio show wasn't even a neurosurgeon and there was no session in Washington D.C. like he described where he claimed to have viewed HHS documents. You HAD to know that titling a discussion "Sarah Palin was RIGHT" would get my attention...lol! (I'm sorry, just joking so please don't get mad, but I couldn't resist!) I'm not trying to make light of a serious situation. I know it gets really complicated when dealing with health care for the elderly, especially those with very serious health issues. About two or three months before my mom passed away at almost 92 a routine chest x-ray showed a mass on her lung. Her doctor, who is also my doctor and most of my family's, said he could send her for invasive tests which would have been very hard on her but he couldn't recommend putting her through it. This was NOT because of the cost since she had good insurance along with her Medicare and through all of her problems the last 5 years of her life she had almost no outstanding medicals bills of any kind. Mom had already signed an advance directive and she out and out refused to have any further tests. If she'd have wanted it, she could have had it; then if they'd found something like cancer, if she'd wanted chemotherapy or whatever else they wanted to put her through she could have had that as well, especially since her insurance would pay for it but I know, speaking for myself, I sure wouldn't go through having a tube shoved down my throat and then maybe treatments that would make my last days a living hell at the age of 91. Anyway, what we have now, or have had long before Obama even announced his candidacy, is a system ruled by insurance companies. It's ALL about the bottom line; some hospitals and doctors will gladly treat someone over 100 years old if they can afford it but young people are often left to die because they can't. I'm NOT anti-capitalist but health care shouldn't be a for profit business. By the way, I agree with you totally about natural remedies and alternative treatments. My insurance, which is pretty good for the most part, won't cover chiropractic, which I think is ridiculous. I know some supplements have been or are going to be taken off the market, I'd assume because "big medicine" and "big pharma" don't want people treating themselves with something that won't cost them an arm and a leg...plus maybe their HOUSE, not to mention giving them side-effects that are sometimes worse than what they're trying to treat! Nutrition is another issue BUT we run into problems if anyone from "the government" dares to suggest what is healthy for us or not so much. (I'm not saying FORCE us to eat or not eat as they say but just give us guidelines because some people really DON'T know any better.) Annie

Have you all noticed where this discussion is heading? A UN-initiated person might have thought this was just about Sarah Palin and what she said about this mess of a healthcare bill. It has, quite naturally, gone into what the obamacare actually is: People control. There is discussion of what could happen if this is not, ultimately gotten rid of and marshal law and firing on people. This is one of the results of what this president has caused and has allowed to continue.

Hello. I am just wondering what will become of his health care program. It is still in the supreme court, and the democrats are pestering them to "make the right choice". Well, It looks as though it is time to get involved with Medishare. Maybe our best bet if we want to have any health care that isnt regulated by the government.

I do not think it will ever go into effect. Sarah Palin was ranting some about this, but mostly she was not the author of her own ramblings. Something put her up to it, lol. Ok, on a serious note. I think to be safe, I will move to Canada soon. I have not had a doctor in 2 years because I make just a little too much that all my money should go into healthcare insurrance, I don't think so... This is a big mess and getting worse by the month.

There is no doubt in my mind this way of thinking has already begun happening. My roommate had a stroke a few months ago. I accompanied him to every hospital, doctor visit, test, and so forth. At one point I specifically asked why they are doing nothing surgically to repair the blockages in his carotid arteries. His response: "We don't do that when they're old." He said this so matter of factly and as though my roommate wasn't in the room. I was livid. I am still livid. Finally, my roomie is becoming livid as I have him read and listen to things I find online. Being 71, he has his socia security and he has a secondary insurance from his company he retired from. Still, he is shelling out about $500 monthly to pay off his share of the expenses for all of this crap! WTF! The American public had better learn to come together to take a stand before it is too late. Maybe it already is...
