As the U.S. Office of Personnel Management notes, Members of Congress “enjoy the widest selection of health plans in the country.” According to page 114 of the Kennedy bill, a similar array of choices would not be available to other Americans in the future. Instead, they would be shunted into health insurance plans under the straightjacket of whatever the government decides is a “basic” plan.
What’s that mean? It means congress keeps their gold-plated plan while they tell you that want you can have and if you can live or die.

Ask Your Congressman If He’ll Join the Obama Public Health Care Plan
Under the Obama plan some government pouge will decide if you get health care or not, Obama said last night on the Obama-infomercial it doesn’t matter if the treatment or care is avialable it will come down to are you worth treating, are you worth saving… it’s all very Gattaca.
Obama was asked if his family was ill if would want the very best care for his family and not some government regulated plan, Obama talked for about, I don’t know 15 minutes and never answered the question (should come as no surprise he never does), facts are it doesn’t matter because Obama would be exempt from his own plan that’s so great for everyone else he thinks he’s to great for his own plan.
Did President Obama Make His Case on Health Care?
ABC ObamaCare Special Turns Into Presidential Filibuster
Let me post a little Limbaugh here….
Obama’s Government Will Decide If You Deserve Medical Treatment?
Jane Sturm: “My mother is now over 105. But at 100, the doctors said to her, ‘I can’t do anything more unless you have a pacemaker.’ I said, ‘Go for it.’ She said, ‘Go for it.’ But the specialist said, ‘No, she’s too old.’ But when the other specialist saw her and saw her joy of life, he said, ‘I’m going for it.’ That was over five years ago. My question to you is: Outside the medical criteria for prolonging life for somebody who is elderly, is there any consideration that can be given for a certain spirit, a certain joy of living, a quality of life, or is it just a medical cutoff at a certain age?”
Obama: “I don’t think that we can make judgments based on people’s ‘spirit.’ Uh, that would be, uh, a pretty subjective decision to be making. I think we have to have rules that, uh, say that, uh, we are going to provide good quality care for all people. End-of-life care is one of the most difficult sets of decisions that we’re going to have to make. But understand that those decisions are already being made in one way or another. If they’re not being made under Medicare and Medicaid, they’re being made by private insurers. At least we can let doctors know — and your mom know — that you know what, maybe this isn’t going to help. Maybe you’re better off, uhh, not having the surgery, but, uhh, taking the painkiller.” Do you realize how cold and heartless that answer is? This woman is asking about her mother. And everywhere she went, except one doctor, refused to put in the pacemaker. “Nah, she’s too old; she’s going to die anyway.”
So they found a specialist: “Maybe this woman really loves living. I’ll put it in.” She’s lived five years with the pacemaker, and still Obama: “Maybe you’re better off to tell your mother to take a pill, take a painkiller.” See, we have to have rules. “We have to have rules. Your mother should have died five years ago, lady. She would have been better off taking that painkiller.” Who says we have to have his rules? The President of the United States is not a king. He’s not an autocrat. He’s not a ruler. He doesn’t get to set the rules. Obama has taken it upon himself to do so. This woman found a way to get her mother a pacemaker. With Obamacare, you just heard the answer: It wouldn’t have happened. I know how this stuff works.
Did you catch that?
Obama said “I don’t think that we can make judgments based on people’s ‘spirit.’ Uh, that would be, uh, a pretty subjective decision to be making.”
What we can’t judge based on spirit? Why not? You want to appoint Supreme Court Justices for their empathy, what the hell is that if it’s not spirit… oh yeah that’s right Obama doesn’t want real empathy he wants racist.
A little more Rush here… I hate quote others so much but todays show was excellent. Really and I rarely say that…
Caller’s Brilliant Catch on Empathy
CALLER: So we’re not able to judge the spirit of someone in order to determine the financial outlay that we’re committing to them based on this health care standard. So we don’t have the ability to quantify our empathy for this health care recipient under my new plan, but I will appoint a Supreme Court nominee who must, in even more black-and-white ways, that is applying the law, must have empathy to gray the law out. So I’m not really sure I understand the message coming from President Obama.
RUSH: You know what, let me tell you something, Paul, that is a brilliant catch. That is a brilliant get. In case you are just joining us, President Obama, in his infomercial last night on ABC that came in last in its time slot, was asked a question by a woman who had a mother who is 100 years old who needed a pacemaker, and the plan that she had said, no, no, no, she’s too old, no, no, no, but the daughter said, “But she’s got so much spirit. She’s got so much spirit. So we found a doctor that would put the pacemaker in. She’s still living at 105.” So Obama was asked: “What about the human spirit?” Well, we can’t judge spirit in making decisions. We can’t take spirit into it. That’s right. Obama is trying to kill human spirit throughout the American economy. Yet you’re right, he wants judges who use empathy totally in rendering legal decisions. Empathy is nothing more than spirit or feelings or what have you. But there’s one caveat to this. Empathy is a code word. When Obama talks about judges having it, all he means by it is: I want people who are racists and bigots on my Supreme Court who are always going to find for minorities and the underprivileged simply because they’ve gotten the shaft all their lives. I want people on my court who are going to rule against the so-called rich and the so-called powerful, because they have carried the day for too long. So empathy is just a code word for somebody who has sympathy for the downtrodden.
Call your congressmen and ask them if they are going to give up their health care? Ask them who decides who lives and who dies and tell them to vote against this abomination or is that Obamanation?

[...] I’ve called all my assorted representatives and told them that they need to introduce an amendment that requires congress to sign up for Obamacare if they pass it, there is no reason these arrogant bastards should get to keep their platinum health care if they are going to force some third rate, third world, health rationing care on the public. Interesting that I called not only the Washington office but also the local office and they knew nothing of Congress being exempt from this plan. [...]
I have heard that it IS in “The Bill” that Congress is “exempt” from this Unconstitutional HC Bill. But even so, and even if they too had to “buy into it”- their seriously OVERPAID salaries enable them to pay CASH for doctor visits, ER or hospital stays. All that would require THEM to get ahead of lonnnnnng WAITING LISTS is cash bribery and flaunting their powerful Govt. positions! The B#stards!
