If this means that some cost-benefit considerations are introduced to our healthcare system in order to limit Medicare payments for treatments designed to prolong already-overlong lives by a few more months at an astronomical cost, I say it's high time and bring it on.

Squeal - go ahead. Squeal all you want. The money is better spent elsewhere.

It's going to get worse, believe me, a whole lot of people were not aware of this, a whole lot of people, so don't be to harsh, even our Congressmen didn't read all the pages of this Obamacare, let alone the head, Kathleen Sebelius!

oh, so we get to say who lives and dies....wait until someone you love is that age, or you yourself, this will certainly come back to bite you right in the butt....

this is criminal....and a whole lot of peoples lives have been saved thru medicine/treatments for years, not months....

for your information...my neighbor is a fine upstanding citizen...be in denial all you want, but when a doctor tells you, they are thinking of dropping medicare, seriously and then tells you flat out why, baby, be as ignorant as you want, but it's true, and instead of arguing with me on this, do some research.

I don't have to do any research. I work for Social Security, and your argument is not based on fact. You are simply repeating something your neighbor said, about what her doctor may (or may not) do. Scare tactics, at base.

I'll squeal all right, my mother recieved a whole lot of treatments, and she lived 10 years beyond....
I cannot believe how inhumane your perception is....Good God, but what I do believe in is fate/destiny and Karma, and this attitude will come back and get cha someday....believe me.

no, it is not scare tactics, it's been passed, it is in there period, and there is no undoing it...I already received a letter from Medicare stating the facts...

Fundamentally, the inhumanity lies on your side of the equation, but I won't waste my time attempting to explain something to someone obviously incapable of grasping the point.
