Senior Health Care Solution ............................................ Humor

[R J]

So you're a senior citizen and the government says no health care for you, what do you do?


Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun and 4 bullets.  You are allowed to shoot 2 senators and 2 representatives.  Of Course, this means you will be sent to prison where you will get 3 meals a day, a roof over your head, and all the health care you need!  New teeth, no problem.  Need glasses, great.  New hip, knees, kidney, lungs, heart?  All covered. (And your kids can come and visit you as often as they do now).  And who will be paying for all of this?  The same government that just told you that you are too  old for health care.  Plus, because you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay income taxes anymore.


IS THIS A GREAT COUNTRY OR WHAT?!

Obamacare slices $528-billion from Medicare, including $136-billion carved out of Medicare Advantage. As The Washington Examiner’s Susan Ferrechio has reported, “The Medicare Advantage cuts will force 4.8 million seniors off the popular plan by 2019. An additional $23 billion in cuts to Medicare will come from a panel charged with slashing Medicare spending.”

The New York Times (which championed Obamacare) wrote last year that “Some doctors—often internists but also gastroenterologists, gynecologists, psychiatrists and other specialists—are no longer accepting Medicare, either because they have opted out of the insurance system or they are not accepting new patients with Medicare coverage. The doctors’ reasons: reimbursement rates are too low and paperwork too much of a hassle.” Under ObamaCare, physicians’ Medicare fees are supposed to be cut 21 percent and hospital reimbursements for Medicare patients chopped by $1.3-billion. How long can doctors and hospitals sustain those losses before they’re forced to pull the plug on treating Medicare patients ?

RJ's plan sounds like a viable plan for a good number over the next 8-10 years.

I don't know about you, but I don't want "Universal Healthcare"
comparable to  England or Canada .


Moreover, it was Sen. Harry  Reid who said, "Elderly Americans must
learn to accept the inconveniences of  old age."

SHIP HIS ASS TO CANADA OR ENGLAND !

He is  "elderly" himself but be sure to remember his health insurance
is different from yours as Congress has their own high-end coverage!
 He will never  have to learn to accept  "inconveniences"!!!
 
 
 

AND THE  WINNER IS VERY INTERESTING!

the percentage of each  past president's cabinet who had worked in
the private business sector prior  to their appointment to the
cabinet. You know what the private business sector  is... a real life
business, not a government job. Here are the  percentages.
 

T. Roosevelt........  38%

Taft.....................40%

Wilson ..................  52%

Harding..................49%

Coolidge..............  48%

Hoover................. 42%

F. Roosevelt.........  50%

Truman..................50%

Eisenhower...........  57%

Kennedy..............  30%

Johnson.................47%

Nixon...................  53%

Ford..................... 42%

Carter..................  32%

Reagan...................56%

GH Bush................. 51%

Clinton  ................. 39%

GW Bush................ 55% 

And the winner  of the Chicken Dinner is:
Obama................ 8%  !!!


Yep! That's right! Only Eight Percent!!!..the least by far of  the
last 19 presidents!! And these people are trying to tell our big
 corporations how to run their business? They know what's best for
 GM...Chrysler... Wall Street... and you and me? 

How can the  president of a major nation and society...the one with
the most successful  economic system in world history... stand and
talk about business when he's  never worked for one?.. or about jobs
when he has never really had  one??! And neither has 92% of his
senior staff and closest advisers.!  They've spent most of their time
in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs....or as "community
organizers"  when they should have been in an employment line.

8% I suspected it.  Banks, car industry, health industry, maybe energy industry.

There's no tellin' how much damage they're gonna cause before November.

I saw a bumper sticker yesterday "Did you vote for Obama? ,Thanks a lot A**hole"   Fitting!

Solo1, you have a way with words!  hoser

Hey ya'll, I think we're being too harsh... This whole government takeover of health care can't be bad...

...after all..... Our good friend Fidel Castro approves of it!

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Cuban-leader-applauds-US-apf-124808403.html?x=0&.v=1

Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro on Thursday declared passage of American health care reform "a miracle" and a major victory for Obama's presidency, but couldn't help chide the United States for taking so long to enact what communist Cuba achieved decades ago.
