Bloomberg’s ‘Happy Ending’ Panels

Thaddeus G. McCotter - February 21st, 2020

 

[...] Americans like to pursue their happiness as long as they possibly can.  They don't want a government bureaucrat issuing them a "decease and desist" order; and most consider it morally wrong for anyone else to get one, too.

 

This peeves the "Medicare for All" socialist mob and elitists like Bloomberg who, in a recently surfaced video, whined that healthcare is going bankrupt because senior citizens are too selfish to know when they should die and, thus, save the government money to spend on younger people.  Further, he bemoans the fact the rest of society doesn't have the Left's flinty heart.

I'm a fan of universal, and how can I argue with this.. if people can only seek care at publicly funded hospitals/clinics/etc. and workers at those publicly funded places have the right to deny care because someone said something offensive, that healthcare system is a threat and needs to be dismantled asap. It's even worse than what the US has in this case.

The quote in question:

 

"You know, if you show up with prostate cancer and you’re 95 years old, we should say “go and enjoy,” “have an ice cream,” “lead a long life,” “there’s no cure, and we can’t do anything.” If you’re a young person, we should do something about it. Society’s not willing to do that, yet. So they’re going to bankrupt us . . ."

 

There is nothing medically incorrect with his statement. Why would a 95 year old have any invasive surgery or radiation which will be improbable to recover from and make his remaining years miserable?

The study found most men with LPC underestimate their life expectancy without treatment and overestimate their potential gain in life expectancy with surgery or radiation. These misperceptions may lead to overtreatment, decisional regret and decreased post-treatment quality of life, said the study authors.

 

Again, this country is the sickest of the rich. Why is that?

Wasn't that the big hoax claimed when the ACA came into being?  Did they ever find a death panel or is this just disinformation 2.0?

It was a hoax?  Didn't Obama pretty much state it in his pushing for the ACA about grandma taking a pill?  Of course no one would name such a body making decisions like this a "Death Panel", but they are making life decisions for others.

After this many years of Obama Care, you should have several examples of this occuring.
