'Death panel' is not in the bill... it already exists
Ernest HancockDaschle 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. H.R. 1 (more commonly known as the Recovery and Reinvestment Act, even more commonly known as the Stimulus Bill and aptly dubbed the Porkulus Bill) contains a whopping $1.1 billion to fund the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research. The Council is the brain child of former Health and Human Services Secretary Nominee Tom Daschle. Before the Porkulus Bill passed, Betsy McCaughey, former Lieutenant governor of New York, wrote in detail about the Council's purpose.
To the author:
You are correct in asserting that the 'death panels' already exist. However, you're sadly mistaken in everything else, particularly, in the spirit of your article.
Rather, it is the insurance companies that rob, rape and ridicule the working class that hold the 'death panels.' It is them who decide who is or isn't entitled to a certain procedure and, if so, when and how. It is them who decide who will die because they have been denied coverage, treatment or a certain procedure even though they have paid their premiums in full. It is them who decide to drop people from the policy because of a certain condition. It is them who decide to deny coverage because someone has a chronic or serious illness. These are the 'death panels' that everybody should be afraid of because it is them to decide who lives and dies and when. It is these 'panels' that would have made Hitler proud.
Most medicine tries to shock your body into a reaction that gets rid of adverse symptoms. This drains and weakens your body.
Genuine nutritional health tries to give your body the weapons and tools to fight the underlying cause of the symptoms. This strengthens your body.
If a person wants to remain using medicine that drains his body right along with his wallet, that's the person's choice - young or old.
There are nutritional stores all around the country - some cities have them almost as regular as convenience stores.
The only thing lacking is knowledge.
Like any habit, once you are hooked on the "habit" of remaing sickly, as well as on the "habit" of using medicine... well, it's pretty hard to kick a habbit.
