Obama Health Care ~ Possible Double-Standard?
President Obama published his health care bill at Whitehouse.gov.
There is nothing new that we have not heard before. The same inequities exist. This bill is not good for America.
If the plan is so great - why do lawmakers continue to exempt themselves from participation?
Maybe they are just more equal than the rest of us peons.
Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J), the 2nd oldest member of the US Senate, has just been diagnosed with stomach cancer. That's unfortunate, but it won't deter him from finishing his current term and even running for another term - which he has announced he intends to do.
Doctos say that he is expected to make a full recovery after a series of chemotherapy treatments over the next 4-6 months. Between treatments he intends to return to the Senate and keep up his fight for the health care bill. In fact, he is one of the Senators that has signed a resolution demanding that the bill be approved through reconciliation - a procedural trick that circumvents legislative debate.
He's where it gets interesting. Lautenberg is 86. Under the health care plan that he so enthusiastically supports - which wouldn't apply to him anyway because he is one of the Washington elite - people of this advanced age might not receive any treatment for an ailment like he has. He might not be considered a good investment of time or money. There's the double-standard.
Life is precious. We need to do all we can to preserve and protect it - from conception forward.
This health care plan must be defeated, and hurrah for the Republicans for opposing it.
