Alright, this is for all Americans and those afar to give your opinions about. For a long time I've been a die hard republican. When Bush was made president, I waivered, an with this last election, I was with Ron Paul, the guy who seemed to know exactly what he was doing. I am also in opposition to the Iraq war, and believe we need to pull out.
Now, when Obama was elected, I wasn't happy, but I stuck with research and properly so, about everything he has done, and quite honestly, I believe he is doing a fair job.
Now that the healthcare has come around, I believe it is one of the best things that could happen to America, where corperations reign and reap every profit, on everyone, period. Now, Republicans are lying, smearing, and destroying that bill in every way possible, making up total crap about the bill so it will not be passed, when time and time again it is proven they are paid off by big companies to be against such thing.
The last straw was this:
WASHINGTON – Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin refused to retreat from her debunked claim that a proposed health care overhaul would create "death panels," as the growing furor over end-of-life consultations forced a key group of senators to abandon the idea in their bill.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, one of six lawmakers negotiating on a Senate bill, said Thursday they had dropped end-of-life provisions from consideration "entirely because of the way they could be misinterpreted and implemented incorrectly."
In a Facebook posting titled "Concerning Death Panels," Palin argued Wednesday night that the elderly and ailing would be coerced into accepting minimal end-of-life care to reduce health care costs based on the Democratic bill in the House.
But there will be no "death panels" under the legislation being considered. In fact, the provision in the bill would allow Medicare to pay doctors for voluntary counseling sessions that address end-of-life issues. The conversations between doctor and patient would include living wills, making a close relative or a trusted friend your health care proxy, learning about hospice as an option for the terminally ill, and information about pain medications for people suffering chronic discomfort.
The sessions would be covered every five years, more frequently if someone is gravely ill.
The American Medical Association and the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization support the provision.
In her posting, Palin wrote: "With all due respect, it's misleading for the president to describe this section as an entirely voluntary provision that simply increases the information offered to Medicare recipients," and added, "It's all just more evidence that the Democratic legislative proposals will lead to health care rationing."
What is MISLEADING is Palin's lies about the bill! America needs this, and I would like to see what you think about A.) Republican fear mongering and corperarationism, and B.) The healthcare bill and healthcare of America.
