Obamacare: “The Case for Killing Granny” – Wesley J. Smith
…last week’s astonishing Newsweek cover story: “The Case for Killing Granny.” (I will bet the POTUS was not pleased with this cover!) Evan Thomas, one of the dying newsweekly’s most notable writers pushes the meme that the elderly should have their health care rationed.
 
The idea that we might ration health care to seniors (or anyone else) is political anathema. Politicians do not dare breathe the R word, lest they be accused—however wrongly—of trying to pull the plug on Grandma. But the need to spend less money on the elderly at the end of life is the elephant in the room in the health-reform debate. Everyone sees it but no one wants to talk about it.

But that is precisely what health care rationing to the elderly would be–pulling the plug on Grandma. And it wouldn’t stop there. People with disabilities may be far more costly to treat, since they live longer than the frail elderly. Once you decide that saving money is the primary goal, those who need help the most will be the ones denied it–ironically, in the cause of expanding access to care

UN Report That H1N1 Could Kill Millions and Cause Anarchy Should be Taken With a Grain of Salt – Wesley J. Smith
Here’s the thing: This was commissioned by the head of the UN, Ban ki-Moon, who is a known hysteric.  Why do I say that?  He recently said we have a mere 4 months to “secure”  the planet from global warming.  Only two and a half months to go!
