What you and others do not stop and recognize is that they will be taxed to give that and more to the government. Our taxes will go up much more than the insurance costs. That is the historical example of where the government health insurance has gone into effect. EXPENSIVE government bureaucracies will oversee medical care. Also it will be a cost effective standard instead of safe and effective that Medicare and Medicaid currently employ. Keep in mind that those programs are bankrupt and a big drag on the government resources. A national council will tell doctors what is cost effective and that is all they can give you. The British method that it is modeled after looks at how long the patient might live and the longer the more cost effective. Old people will be denied treatment for problems just because they are old. It was writen from Dashles book. Daschle says health-care reform “will not be pain free.” Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them. That means the elderly will bear the brunt.

So liberals are you going to be more accepting of conditions that you get in your old age and just accept them and possibly die from them? Currently in Britain the people with heart disease and arthritis are to self medicate. Will you be overjoyed when that hits here?

You liberals listen to the talking points and NEVER CONSIDER THE NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES.

The pie in the sky liberals never want to hear of the costs of going this path. Why?
