All the seniors who voted for Obama because of health care promises will be getting some very rude surprises! Seniors are among patients most likely to be readmitted to hospitals after major surgeries and other conditions. But hospitals are on notice that they'll be penalized for readmissions and some are already experiencing it. How eager do you think those facilities will be to readmit seniors for a complication related to a previous admission no matter how sick they are? (Take two aspirins and go to bed and call the local funeral home.)
I am tempted to ask, shouldn't decisions about treatment be between a patient and her doctor? Why should a government board have any right to look over the doctor's shoulder? But let's face it, Obamacare is not about what's best for the patient -- it's about imposing socialized medicine on the country. And some patients will be more expendable than others. Better take your vitamin D3 and stay healthy, because it's "Sayonara, Seniors!" for you if you get sick.
Ah well, it was the baby boom generation who welcomed the sexual revolution, feminism, the drug culture, and the ridicule of godliness and patriotism. Those chickens are now coming home to roost. Repentance anyone?
