This from the party that was pushing that death panel bs!!


Oh my God this is hilarious... anyone depending on either ACA are Medicaid is going to be so boned if they implement this... by literally fixing the amount of money Medicaid has to spend annually they sure as hell are more aligned with any claims of "death panels" than the ACA ever was.

On the upside, the reduced population should help with environmental issues.

Likely just make some marginal people homeless... then I'll be able to kick them. And they won't be able to go to the hospital afterwards. Win win!

Please Victor, we all knew the Right wanted this all along. They hate people in need - all of them.

Oh I know... I mean, who doesn't hate the needy though? They're so.... needy.

But the hilarious hypocrisy of their hand wringing over death panels... then suggesting we just set a fixed amount for any procedures in a year... oh man... that's priceless.

The right is playing the lower class like a fiddle. A pitiful hate filled fiddle. I hope they enjoy the diabeetus related limb loss.

Medicaid is an unecessary crutch for the lazy... what do these people want? Are there no prisons? are there no work houses? and if they would rather die, they had better do it and decrease the surplus population!

And those same lower class people ranted for years that Obamacare was destroying the nation. This is because without a free press and freedom of information there is no Democracy.

They sold a world class crook like Trump as the good guy over a "evil" career politician.

It's true you know - checkers does sell more than chess.

Heck... I never liked Obamacare. If I were younger something like that would have really hurt me. But their way of "fixing' things is going to be absolutely hilarious... (if they implement this)

I still say health care is not a right. It is a service provided by people who were smart enough to obtain the proper education, and they deserve to be paid for their services.

Services should be paid for by the people receiving the service.

heard recently that Methodist Hospital's (Brooklyn) Emergency Room turned a profit under Romneycare last year. They claimed it was because they now hardly ever treat people with the flu etc and actually turned over many true emergency medical situations of people with insurance for the first time in like ever.

I think we can afford that type of expense. I know you don't. Let's smoke cigars anyway.

It's the two sides of the Very extreme that are screwing things up. There has to be a middle ground if only both sides could sit down and discuss it. But Obamacare was forced down our throats so now the GOP wants to do the same thing. I think the posturing by both sides could delay this and allow for an interim measure. At least I hope so. By the way I did not open the original link I'm basing my comments on all you fools.

MACS, I agree. Unfortunately our hospitals refuse to allow people to simply die outside in the driveway. Maybe after the Medicare money gets tightened down into a fixed sum they'll finally see the light and just offer uninsured people a cyanide capsule or something at the waiting room.
