Senior Death Warrants... PLEASE READ

Actress Natasha Richardson died after falling, while skiing in Canada . It took eight hours to drive her to a hospital. If Canada had our healthcare she might be alive today. In the United States , we have medical evacuation helicopters that would have transported her to a hospital within 30 minutes.

In England, citizens over 59 cannot receive heart repairs, stents or coronary bypass surgery because it's too expensive and not warranted, in the eyes of the government... given the age of the patients.

Obama wants to have a healthcare system just like Canada 's and England 's.

I got this today and am sending it on. If Obama's plans in other areas don't frighten you, this should.

Please do not let Obama sign such legislation which will be a Senior Death Warrant for all but the wealthy.

Everybody that is on my mailing list is either a senior citizen, is getting close or knows somebody that is.

Most of you know by now that the Senate version (at least) of the "Stimulus Bill" included provisions for extensive rationing of health care for senior citizens. The author of this part of the bill, former senator and tax evader, Tom Daschle was credited by Bloomberg with the following statement:

Bloomberg: 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."

If this does not sufficiently raise your ire, just remember that our esteemed Senators and Congressmen have their own healthcare plan that is first dollar paid, or very low co-pay, which they are guaranteed for the remainder of their lives, and will not subject to this new law, if it passes.

Please use the power of the Internet to get this message out. Talk it up at the grassroots level. We have an election coming up in one year and five months. And we have the ability to address and reverse the dangerous direction the Obama administration and his allies have begun... and in the interim, we can make their lives miserable. Lets do this!

If you disagree, do nothing.
