What a friking lot of liars they are. GOD BLESS AUSTRALIA

Grassley Uses Kennedy’s Brain Tumor To Spread Fear Of Rationing

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), ranking member on the Senate Finance Committee, has taken the lead role in negotiating the health care reform bill for the GOP. But earlier today during a radio interview with Iowa City’s KCJJ, Grassley steered the conversation with a caller toward rationing health care services among the elderly, one of the right wing’s favorite fearmongering tactics when it comes to health care reform. And as an example, Grassley cited Sen. Ted Kennedy’s (D-MA) brain tumor. Grassley said that in countries with government-run health care, Kennedy “would not get the care he gets here because of his age.” Instead, the government would decide to spend health care resources on younger people “who can contribute to the economy”:
GRASSLEY: In countries that have government-run health care, just to give you an example, I’ve been told that the brain tumor that Sen. Kennedy has — because he’s 77 years old — would not be treated the way it’s treated in the United States. In other words, he would not get the care he gets here because of his age. In other words, they’d say ‘well he doesn’t have long to live even if he lived another four to five years.’ They’d say ‘well, we gotta spend money on people who can contribute more to economy.’ It’s a little like people saying when somebody gets to be 85 their life is worth less than when they were 35 and you pull the tubes on them.

Friking Wanker
Darn,I Just can't stand friking liars, maybe you should do a little traveling Senator, come Down Under at least your elderly won't be pennyless and out on the streets, like in the USA supposed to be the leading country of the free world.
My mother had cancer surgery at 78, 8 hours, radium theraphy, chemo and ten years of checkups and she paid ZERO dollars, still alive at 95 living by herself and still going strong.
I also had two surgeryies, 11hrs, 8hrs 6 mths chemo and am now in my 7th year of checkups all for ZERO dollars.
God Bless Australia, and believe me after two extended trips to America, and watching the Bush Brigade for the last eight years, if your public option is voted down without a fight, your country deserves what it gets.
Darn it all fight for your health care.

Come one, come all everyone welcome.
