How Obama Screws The Elderly On Healthcare

I've enclosed a snappy little video on how Medicare folks, like me, are screwed by the Obama healthcare plan.
Watch it and get po'd.

Did you watch the video? If you did you shouldn't be surprised that folks like me are the forgotten ones. That's why the new law has Death Panels and rationing boards. If you don't believe this then you're a foolish liberal.
Let me tell you a story. I was in my hometown a week ago. I took my Mom out for a drive in the community. Mom has dementia and is in a home. During our drive I took her by the six homes we lived in as I was a kid growing up. I drove by the Boone County Hospital. Mom worked there from 1941 until she retired at age 70, twenty-three years ago. We went by a few other sites and Mother didn't recognize one place. She thinks I still work and am 40 years old. She thinks she's 62. Well, under healthcare mom will be denied any attempts to keep her alive. Younger people will say this is okay. She's outlived her usefullness and is unproductive so what the hell.
This is easy for the fifty and under crowd because they think they'll live forever. The finality of life hasn't hit them yet.
Let me take you back to mom's career. In her life she delivered over 5,000 babies as the head of the maternity unit at Boone County Hospital. I'm positive that during her tenure she saved the lives of babies, many, many babies. I'm sure she had to tell parents that their baby was stillborn or had hydrocephalus or a myriad of other other childhood problems. For many parents she was the first person they saw after a baby was born so she had better been excellent at what she did. Mom has earned whatever time she has left.
My mom enjoys watching the Chicago Cubs. She is absolutely in love with the Iowa State Cyclone basketball team and their coach, Fred Hoiberg. Three years ago Fred gave me a signed autographed picture and it's hanging on her mirror. It's the first thing she sees in the morning and the last thing at night. If, in the next two years, mom is still around her life has been determined by the government that for her to go on living is wrong. It's unacceptable. Put your own parent's in this position. Are you still a big Obama healthcare supporter? How about yourself? I know I have around twenty years on this earth if I'm lucky. Man, I've got a lot of livin' to do. But if I need that heart surgery or a new hip or prostate surgery, well, the government most likely will have my papers submitted to their rationing board and then they can say, "toughsky shitsky, old-timer", and there isn't one thing my children or myself can do about it except for me to go down to the funeral home and start planning.
