Remember four years ago when newly elected President Barack Obama told us to look at the European countries who had socialized medicine as examples of what America should have? He mentioned England and Canada and then referred to other countries as models for us to follow.
Virtually every one of those model countries are facing financial shortfalls in their national health programs. Great Britain is cutting covered services and treatments to help offset the rising costs.
Now, socialists in France and Belgium are pushing for ways to reduce the cost of national healthcare.
France’s new socialist President Francois Hollande just announced that he will allow doctors to accelerate the death of terminally ill patients. His proposal will be reviewed by a medical ethics board who hopes to have a formal plan of implementation ready by June of 2013. In addressing the issue, Hollande said:
“The existing legislation does not meet the legitimate concerns expressed by people who are gravely and incurably ill.”
In Belgium, the socialist party just introduced legislation that would allow minors and Alzheimer’s patients to request permission to die. Belgium passed an euthanasia law in 2002, but it only applies to people over the age of 18. The current plan is to amend the existing law to include minors that ‘are capable of discernment or affected by an incurable illness or suffering that we cannot alleviate.’

let Obama & Pelosi and all in their families be the first to be euthanized under obamacare, I bet obamacre will disappear forever
Since they are the two most useless persons in America, they deserve to go to the head of the class for euthanization!
I believe your forgot Biden, Hillary, Reid and all the rest of the progressives. I mean after all they are getting old in that party and they have made being a politician a life experience so they should be the first to experience it!
I firmly support any program that allows a terminal person especially if in unrealistic pain levels, a choice to let their life go and return to Universal Spirit. It has amazed me that the supposed theological believers of fantasy think that life here at any cost is the right thing to do. If an afterlife is so precious and deemed grandiose and wonderful why is it that they want a person to suffer more than they would allow any animal to suffer? And I am ashamed that medicine has done nothing to educate and assist in death believing that life at any cost is the do all end all to their hypocritical oath. As long as there is insurance money left you can bet a doctor will keep them in some state of suspended animation. It is wrong that we as a society have not made steps to embrace and understand this most important aspects of life. Death should be celebrated as a re-birth and flight a flight back to the Cosmos from whence we came. It is sad that money may be the reason to learn of “accelerated” death measures. But the fact is that there would have been no life “extension” if medicine had not intervened, so why is it prevented from assisting in or final transition of this life to the next? If there is god I can’t imagine him approving of end of life pain and suffering, that was not of his will, prevented
I don’t agree with you. This generation now that are in their 50′s and 60′s are smarter than our last generation. These people have living wills that tell what a doctor can and can’t do. If there’s no chance of them getting better they don’t want to lay and wait. I feel like this but I also don’t want the government telling my insurance company to cut off funds just because I may fall under a certain age category.
I would never go along with a decision of euthanasia because my Universal Spirit is GOD ALMIGHTY and I would be going against my beliefs that I would be committing an act against Him and Jesus Christ who gave his life for me and his pain was much greater than any pain I could feel.
Life is precious at least to most of us. To the boon and the socialist, not so much and to a muslim none at all. So what would you expect from a socialist=communist muslim that`s gay in the White House. He would be happy for all of us to die as fast as possable.
Folks, wake up, here is Obama’s real plan, if you can no longer produce revenue due to old age, then you have become a burden on the system, and the system can no longer support folks that are a burden on the system and as such you are disposable and the sooner the better.
Obama if allowed to remain in power will also eventually get rid-of the non producers that do not pay any tax, there is no need for any of them either. He will however need people that are willing to work and produce the necessities that he feels are important. Anyone outside of that sphere will become redundant and be eliminated.
Think not, well watch and see as he continues to destroy our country. The sickening thing is that if we had honset representatives in Congress that would have honored their oath of office, this mad man could have been stopped a very long time ago.
Unfortunately I no longer believe that to be the case, he constantly gets away with anything and everything and there seems no stopping him.
