It is not paraphrasing. I don't know about you but we earthly humans cannot contribute beyond our capabilities.
BTW, the topic you're trying to contribute to the best of your capabilities is about the elderly... and who runs medicare under which these elders ultimately rely on?
Find the thread on the treatment of that elderly gay couple who lost everything and tell me my concerns are invalid.
I can't agree with you in that before Palin did her job on the Congress there were certainly provisions for death panels. Now if insurance companies have those death panels, what is to stop the DC people from doing the very same thing once they manage to get single payer insurance?
The people (and don't give me crap that corporations are people too).
But, you don't seem to have an issue with death panels today. So, why are you worried about it happening tomorrow?
I was scheduled to have a sonogram on my carotid artery tomorrow but since it costs money and I am past your age of 75 I will call and tell them I am too old to be wasting their time and will then go out on the highway and lie down in front of a semi-truck. The damned fool driver would probably try to miss and wreck his rig so maybe I better sit around a think of a better way to take my life. I am a coward about suicide since I know a man who managed to blow off his jaw and cheekbone along with that side of his face but did a poor job and had to live for years without what he blew away.
When do you think the death panels will be in effect? Maybe they can take care of my problem.
When its children who suffer the most? As a healthcare professional, I was reading an interesting blog. As a peds nurse I see many children who can't this or that done because there is no funding or they get rejected by insurance companies,meanwhile an elderly person who is 98 and on a ventilator ,and non responsive(brain dead) is getting her 5th. Hip surgery? Isn't that hip surgery unessesary at this point,meanwhile a child of 5 who is alert and has muscular dystrophy gets denied a wheelchair (and medicaid insurance) when they have a better prognosis than the elderly client? Or an elderly client who gets social security on top of getting a 3000 dollar pension and free medicare but we deny medicaid to the child who has cancer because the parents make 2000 a month? Tell me your opinions please

On Fox News, Glenn Beck runs it. You should watch it sometime... most of the viewers already act like zombies. And while it is a slow process, he is a genius who makes it look comfortable talking about things the viewers want to hear.
This topic is here to get us use to the idea.
They will keep chipping away until enough say "Oh yeah!"
Then they will go a little further until it is the "right" thing to do.
They are stripping you of your soul and you don't even know it.
Say goodbye to your grandmother,
like you have said goodbye to everything else that made this world beautiful.
Oh, they ALWAYS have their reasons.
Have you ever noticed though, after they get their way?
Things are not quite as beautiful, have you noticed?

Are there provisions in the shadily passed law that they will start putting into effect soon for death panels. I thought that Palin exposing that crap caused them to take those provisions out of the bills.
I have been against DC provided death panels from the beginning and don't think I will be changing soon. Then, today and tomorrow.
Ah yes, Medicare. I was told when I reached 65 that I had to go on Medicare and couldn't continue with the company insurance.
Why yes, I do have Medicare and it is very nice to get things like sonograms without having to pay out of pocket, but I was referring to the fact that since I am so old (77) many would think that I shouldn't be a drag on society.
Hell, I will drive myself to the session and then home. I am not as far gone as most at my age so I will keep on taking the advice of the doctor who lined me up for the sonogram. She is just trying to save my life.
