Dick Morris: Obama’s Health Plan Will Ruin Seniors’ Medicare
Why do the Democrats hate old people?
Obama’s health care proposal is, in effect, the repeal of the Medicare program as we know it. The elderly will go from being the group with the most access to free medical care to the one with the least access. Indeed, the principal impact of the Obama health care program will be to reduce sharply the medical services the elderly can use. No longer will their every medical need be met, their every medication prescribed, their every need to improve their quality of life answered.
And it is the elderly who rationing will most effect. Who should get a knee replacement a 40 year old or a 70 year old? Who should get a new hip, a young person or an old person? Who should have priority in the operating room a seventy year old diabetic who needs bypass surgery or a younger person? Obviously, it is the elderly who will get short shrift under his proposal.
This is obvious to everyone that thinks about it. Every proposal for the Democrat Takeover of Health Care is financed by a tax cut and LESS SPENDING ON MEDICARE. We know Medicare is broke so how are they going to spend less except drastic cut backs in service?
