Another one of Obama's controversial and dangerous "transformations" of the U.S. found in SECTON 1899A of the ObamaCare bill is the establishment of an
"Independent Medicare Advisory Board" (IMAB) or otherwise referred to as the "death panel"

Let me translate the bill: IMAB is nothing more than a GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED PANEL, that in its quest to cut costs will establish policies to prohibit certain medical procedures.

Lets say your 72 yrs old and need a heart transplant. with it you can probably enjoy another 15 yrs of life or more. The IMAB could DENY seniors
the heart transplant in the name of Fairness since there is only so much money to go around and medical rationing becomes a reality. Instead they give it to the 33 yr old because he is more "productive" in society and the elderly, in their view will have outlived their usefulness.

You think that is far fetched?? On June 13, 2009 in his weekly radio address Obama talked about specifically giving Doctors "incentives" to "avoid unneccessary hospital stays, treatments and tests that drive up costs. Obama says "Make no mistake : the cost of heath care is a threat to our economy. WAKE UP SENIORS!!! Is this what you really want??

Here's my thought on a cost saving solution: CLOSE EMERGENCY ROOMS to NONCITIZENS!!! That would go a long way to save the healthcare system.
