Doctors Will Not Euthanize People When Obama Reforms The Health Care System!


Doctors will not euthanize people as if they were sick cats or dogs if President Obama gets the chance to reform health care.Sarah Palin should never claim that she is not just another lying politician.Because she knows good & damn well that there will be no "death panel"!And for her to suggest such a thing is "downright evil".

In this heated atmosphere,people like Glen Beck & Newt Gingrich have no regard for the facts.Additionally,I think that they could care less about contributing to the confusion & anger that some folks have over this issue.These commentators & political opportunists just want their side to win.Even if they have to use fabrications to obtain their ultimate goal.

Although Glen Beck claims that his audience can depend on him for the honest to goodness truth,he has demonstrated his dishonesty on a regular basis.And he was quick to push this idea that people will be put down like cats & dogs if Obama passes his "evil" health care reform.


Well,here's an excerpt from a fact check The AP did:

"Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin says the health care overhaul bill would set up a "death panel." Federal bureaucrats would play God, ruling on whether ailing seniors are worth enough to society to deserve life-sustaining medical care. Palin and other critics are wrong.

Nothing in the legislation would carry out such a bleak vision. The provision that has caused the uproar would instead authorize Medicare to pay doctors for counseling patients about end-of-life care, if the patient wishes. Here are some questions and answers on the controversy:

Q: Does the health care legislation bill promote "mercy killing," or euthanasia?

A: No.

Q: Then what's all the fuss about?

A: A provision in the House bill written by Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., would allow Medicare to pay doctors for voluntary counseling sessions that address end-of-life issues. The conversations between doctor and patient would include living wills, making a close relative or a trusted friend your health care proxy, learning about hospice as an option for the terminally ill, and information about pain medications for people suffering chronic discomfort.

The sessions would be covered every five years, more frequently if someone is gravely ill.

Q: Is anything required?

Monsignor Charles Fahey, 76, a Catholic priest who is chairman of the board of the National Council on Aging, a nonprofit service and advocacy group, says no.

"We have to make decisions that are deliberative about our health care at every moment," Fahey said. "What I have said is that if I cannot say another prayer, if I cannot give or get another hug, and if I cannot have another martini — then let me go."

Q: Does the bill advocate assisted suicide?

A: No. It would block funds for counseling that presents suicide or assisted suicide as an option

People Are Acting Like Hooligans At The Town Hall Meetings On Health Care Reform!


If the folks that are acting like hooligans at these health care reform discussions are examples of "real Americans",then please classify me as a fake American.There is nothing that can be gained by acting belligerent & ignorant in any discussion.We get that these people oppose health care reform.But,can anyone discern what their solution to the health care crisis in this country is?

I Know The Republican Sonia Sotomayor Haters Are Angry That She Will Be A Supreme Court Justice!


There were 37 naysayers in the Senate who didn't want Judge Sonia Sotomayor to serve as a Supreme Court Justice.Even the maverick known as John McCain went along with the party of no by saying that he could not support her nomination.Unlike Sarah Palin,she is at least qualified for the job that she was up for.

But since he obviously does not always make the right choices in life,I'm not surprised that McCain voted against Sonia Sotomayor.It did not matter though.Sonia Sotomayor has made history by becoming the first Hispanic justice to serve on the Supreme Court.McCain could not stop Obama or his pick for the Supreme Court.And neither could the rest of her naysayers.
