What About Unions

Just because "factcheck" said something doesn't make it true. Just because Governor Palin said something doesn't make it a lie. It is shameful for you to accuse this lady of lying when you don't know the truth. I have posted sections of Obamacare that describe the function of a certain board. Obamacare does not call this board a "death panel" but when it can decide who gets what treatment then they have the power of life and death.

Last year the company from which I retired cancelled my secondary healthcare and prescription drug coverage, instead providing a small stipend which will not even pay the cost of supplemental healthcare.

After years of Medicare part D I find out that one medication my wife takes requires "step therapy", that is "try everything else and if nothing works then it will be approved". Strenuous effort by her doctor solved the problem but it has to be repeated on an annual basis.

I was at my pulmonary doctor last week. Upon sharing experiences with his nurse she told me they had 31 cases where they had to work to keep patients on the prescribed medicine. People are different and their response to drugs are different. What works for one may not work for another. The government has no business trying to practice medicine.

You democrats have cried for years in justifying abortion that the government has no business in the bedroom. They certainly have no business practicing medicine.

Incidentally if McCain had not been such a "wuss" and listened to Governor Palin the country might have been spared Obama.

 

You have been around democrats too long convicted1. Please don't compare Ryan with your democrat politicians.

Don't know about the Kansas City paper but Media Matters is a far left piece of trash talk and is not an acceptable resource.

Of course one thing you fail to understand convicted1. You and like minded democrats have come to accept the dictatorship of Barak Hussein Obama. Ryan is not a dictator even if he were president and the $15,000 is certainly not engraved in stone.

Actually given the medical expenses of my wife and I over the last few years I believe $30,000 would be great. Also you must understand convicted1. The whole idea of insurance is to spread the burden. The pool for people on Medicare would start at age 65 where the expenses are not likely that great. So %30,000 for two people might be great. Who knows at this time. It is certain that no far left trash talking paper would ever tell the truth since they, like Obama, want a Marxist style government!

And now back to Unions!

 

That is false. I frequently call the Republican Party the Stupid Party. However, they have two things they going for them compared to democrats.

1. They are strongly opposed to the slaughter of the unborn.

2. They generally support the Constitution and are, therefore, opposed to a Marxist style government.

 

Yes but you support the party that is the death party. That is sort of like the Germans in WWII who were against the death camps but nevertheless were strong supporters of old Barak, sorry Adolph Hitler.

Since when has God delegated "life and death" to you or to Barak Hussein Obama?

 

The administrator has got to find a smilie with a wagging finger. And i am not talking about the middle finger either.

I have no illusions about the character of some in the Republican party, especially S/N buddy and I will concede the Republican party is the "stupid" party. That being said I believe the leadership of the democrat party are radical leftists and there are enough welfare types to give them positions of power.

Furthermore i don't doubt that there are many Republicans who support the slaughter of the unborn but thankfully they are a minimum. convicted 1 talks about end of life care. I concede it is a serious problem but once the state starts deciding when the life of someone is no longer worth the cost where will it end, involuntary euthanasia as is being practiced in some European countries now.

 

And just when does voluntary euthanasia become involuntary.

We have a serious problem in this country and it will get worse.

My mother lived to be almost 97 and was mentally alert during that time.. She had reasonable good health in her senior years until she had a heart attack at the age of 94-95. In the following months she had a problem with angina, required oxygen much of the time, and on occasion had fluid buildup in her lungs, requiring hospitalization. On one visit the ER doctor simply shuffled her aside to let her die. My niece who was living with my mother contacted her doctor who got her the proper treatment.

In my opinion decisions such as this should not be within the purview of an ER doctor. I realize there are times when further medical treatment is useless but the withholding of that treatment must be with the consent of the patient or the family with the aid of the patient's doctor.

And how did we get so far away from the discussion of unions?

 

What democrats, union people, and welfare leeches fail to understand is that nothing is free in this world. A perfect example, though I hesitate to use it in this context, is our Salvation. Folks, especially Baptists, like to say Salvation is free. But that statement is nonsense and simply means we can't see beyond the end of our nose!

 

So the company had to pick up the increase in cost!
