Whats even worse is personal health care decisions will be made by nameless and faceless beaurocrats that can't be sued or even held accountable for their decisions. So if your Mother is 75 years old and is diagnosed with breast cancer some government employee will decide whether the benefit of treatment is worth the cost. The older you get the more likely the answer will be no.

I read a letter to the editor by a former Brit who left the socialism of the UK for America. He then decribed the unnecessary deaths of both his elderly parents that were denied medical care because of their age and the cost. His father had a mild heart attack and needed a stent but was told no and died of a massive heart attack two weeks later while waiting to come to the U.S. for the procedure.

This is exactly what we warned all the moderates who decided to "take a chance" on Obama with Reid and Pelosi in charge of congress. Well, when you or one of your loved ones die because of the socialized medicine you will come to regret that decision.
