Well the money quote that I love is "There is no proof that end of life decisions will be made under Obamacare". Uh huh.....I know....our big government liberals are going to much nicer than their big government liberals...... GF, check out the number one fear of seniors in many European countries. It is going to the hospital. Why? Because of their fear they will be euthanized and they have that fear for good reason. You know as well as I do that there are soft end of life decisions (i.e., you are old and that chemotherapy is soooo expensive....be a good girl Grandma and go home to die) and hard decisions (sorry, no triple bypass for you because you are so old and surgery is sooo expensive so die here in the hospital). The soft end of life decisions are being made every day in countries with socialized medicine and you know it. Why you think somehow it will be different here when the budget soars from health care costs is beyond me.
Yeah, Medicare is great except for the minor fact that it is bankrupt. And you call that financial issues?!?!? That's like totaling your car and saying, "Hmm, looks like I have transportation issues". Honestly, it is so hard for me to take the liberal approach of "we had good intentions" while ignoring the cold hard reality. And yes I would have opposed Medicare for the very same reasons I oppose Obamacare (along with some real constitutional concerns). Because I know the financial reality of government programs like these, no matter how well intentioned, and I know what government intervention into any market does, which is chaos.
I'm glad you brought up Romneycare. Romneycare was a huge mistake and is a perfect example of what happens when a program like this is created. And you want that on a national level?!?!? How crazy is that? As for Romney, I will tell you that I am for any GOP candidate that is running against the Messiah. All their flaws multiplied by ten and they will still be 100 times better than Oblamer. I take Romney at his word that on his first day in office he will provide exemptions to every single state from Obamacare. And he has stated that if a bill is sent to his desk that repeals Obamacare he will sign it. He may not be the guy I vote for in the primary in this cycle but if he is the nominee I will support him fully and without reservation.
