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.

IMHO Government funded healthcare - Medicare, if that works for seniors (and it does), why can't that work for everyone after the FAT is trimmed.....And you know that there is a lot of waste!....I wonder how many 33 year olds were passed by while Cheney got his transplant, that was a mistake!!!!!...Do you really think that closing emergency rooms is the answer, please, how can you turn away a 3 year old Latino that was hit by a car, a little radical don't you think? Obamacare is NOT really a bill that this administration was in love with, only in "like" with....Many changes are in this bills future....Good points on this bill, you can not exclude anyone for a pre-existing condition (insurance companies can not pick and choose who will add to their bottom-line - profit!, shouldn't insurance companies take the same risk that all of us do when signing up for their policy), no life-time limit to benefits (how would you like to find out that your limit of care has ended because you've "max'd out", children can stay on their parents insurance until 26....Healthcare should not be political, I know both parties would benefit from this bill, only hope the Supreme Court agrees with me. Bottom line, To quote Pres. Sadat — 'we all understand our differences but we have to find our similarities so we can live together in peace.
