by John Boehner (R-OH)
 Members of Congress and the American people are just beginning to look at Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) 1,990-page government takeover of health care, but it’s already becoming clear just how costly and unsustainable this proposal is.

It is not the governments job to offer or pay for (that's you and me) end of life counseling.  These matters have always been handled quite nicely between doctor and patient or doctor and family.  There can be no other purpose for this than to coerce people into refusing treatment.

From One Who Lived Under Communism
I came from where we are heading, I grew up in a Communist country. Unfortunately I see a lot of parallels between the then and there, and the here and now. I look at this national emergency as a manufactured crisis that provides the government with everything to do whatever they please.

Big spending, cruel rationing, hidden taxes, abortion funding, coverage for illegals... the Dems should be proud. This is one of their all-time best assaults on American freedom.

RK - just look at the hash they made out of pig flu vaccinations. And those are being rationed...

I had to LOL @ the "friends" as they posted counter links with people who LOVED living in Communist Hungary. Really? There are people who would willingly, without a gun being pointed at their head, having lived through Communism, say they liked it? Boggles the mind.
