All the seniors who voted for Obama because of health care promises will be getting some very rude surprises! Seniors are among patients most likely to be readmitted to hospitals after major surgeries and other conditions. But hospitals are on notice that they'll be penalized for readmissions and some are already experiencing it. How eager do you think those facilities will be to readmit seniors for a complication related to a previous admission no matter how sick they are? (Take two aspirins and go to bed and call the local funeral home.)
I am tempted to ask, shouldn't decisions about treatment be between a patient and her doctor? Why should a government board have any right to look over the doctor's shoulder? But let's face it, Obamacare is not about what's best for the patient -- it's about imposing socialized medicine on the country. And some patients will be more expendable than others. Better take your vitamin D3 and stay healthy, because it's "Sayonara, Seniors!" for you if you get sick.
Ah well, it was the baby boom generation who welcomed the sexual revolution, feminism, the drug culture, and the ridicule of godliness and patriotism. Those chickens are now coming home to roost. Repentance anyone?
I have statistics that show both numbers and rate of abortions were at their peak between 1979 and 1990, when boomer women were in their reproductive years. You might say the chicks can't come home to roost, because they're dead.
ReplyDeleteI am 70, and I am surely glad that I have been in the pro-life movement since my mid thirties and had never encourage abortions before that. At least if they send me off to the "glue factory", I can answer to the Lord that I was one of those who tried to save the babies. I have had my sins but approving abortion was not one of them. May God give us all final penitence.
ReplyDeleteDid you see the story in the news about the nursing home (actually it's a chain of them) where the staff is not allowed to perform CPR? Sure enough, an 87-year-old patient needs CPR and while the care-giver is on the phone with 911, she refuses to give the patient CPR? The patient died...
ReplyDeleteYes, I heard about it on FOX. I did not watch it all, but I think the practice of not doing CPR is also connected to their insurance coverage. I wonder if that coverage is connect to Obamacare. All these elderly people who voted for him without regard that his was for the killing of unborn children and did not vote for the Born Alive Act, are now getting their comeuppance for sure I thought in my thirties that if I did not protect the unborn children, there would be no one there to protect me when I was no longer "useful" to society. Evidently some people never thought about that, especially the husband of Terri Shiavo. I can imagine how his children will treat him when he gets older -- the "glue factory" for sure for him. Oh, well they cannot say we did not tell them.
