Repeal The Stimulus

clipped from www.bloomberg.com

Medicare now pays for treatments deemed safe and effective.
The stimulus bill would change that and apply a cost-
effectiveness standard set by the Federal Council (464).

In 2006, a U.K. health board decreed that elderly patients
with macular degeneration had to wait until they went blind in
one eye before they could get a costly new drug to save the
other eye. It took almost three years of public protests before
the board reversed its decision.

Hiding health legislation in a stimulus bill
is intentional. Daschle supported the Clinton administration’s
health-care overhaul in 1994, and attributed its failure to
debate and delay. A year ago, Daschle wrote that the next
president should act quickly before critics mount an opposition.
“If that means attaching a health-care plan to the federal
budget, so be it,” he said. “The issue is too important to be
stalled by Senate protocol.”

We're babes in the woods folks. The death panel has already been created by the "stimulus" bill. The one that stimulates O Duce's political allies. And your death.
