You Thought That Was Bad? 22 More Reasons to Fear Health-Care Reform


Page 28: "Sharing" of electronic medical records allows government to compile private data about millions of Americans, and make annoying prank calls on important birthdays.

Page 61: Provides for annual checkups, and all body-temperature readings must be made with rectal thermometers kept below 35 degrees Fahrenheit.

Page 97: If Grandma's already dead, you have to pull the plug on Grandpa -- even if he's not sick!

Page 112: Requirement to remove all metal objects before certain diagnostic tests -- a plot to confiscate constitutionally-protected guns from anesthetized Americans.

Page 164: Reimbursable examination robes will have slits in back and front.

Page 170: Ban on easy-open pill bottles, part of government effort to make seniors want to die sooner.

Page 245: In case of pandemic outbreak, nothing prohibiting small children from being quarantined with chinchillas.

Page 311: Forced "sterilization" of all surgical tools. One more step toward forced sterilization of everyone.

Page 398: No guarantee of cherry-flavored cough syrup. Flavors will be selected by government-run "phlegm panels."

Page 426: You will be forced to share your hospital room with an illegal alien, and the alien's entire family can stay in your room all night.

Page 519: Bio fuels to run government-dispatched ambulances will be derived from body fluids of aborted fetuses and kidnapped militia members.

Page 563: List of acceptable sites for medical-waste disposal doesn't include your house, so government-run hospitals are free to turn your backyard into a toxic site without paying any compensation!

Page 602: No provision preventing government agents from breaking into your home to verify the labels and dosage levels of your personal prescription drugs.

Page 700: Oppressive new mileage standards for power-driven wheelchairs.

Page 914: No semi-automatic weapons permitted in operating rooms.

Page 988: All doctors, nurses and medical technicians required to speak with hard-to-understand foreign accents.

Page 1013: Pre-death harvesting of vital organs permitted during "Happy Hour" on first Wednesday of every month.

Page 1042: No prohibition on sending "socially unproductive" seniors into low earth orbit.

Page 1051: Government-funded registry of patient "blood types" opens door to secret vampirization of health-care system.

Page 1057: Coverage of so-called "mental-health services" gives federal government unfettered access to brain waves, another step toward Washington-directed mind control.

Page 1079: No restrictions on conducting disabling medical procedures on Fox News anchors.

Page 1124: Encourages "rational steps" by doctors to ascertain patients' wishes in end-of-life situations. "Rational" and "rationing" begin with the same six letters. Coincidence?

Here is a genuine post from one of Palin's nutcase followers:

******** how well has any doctor or insurance done when it comes to defensive

medicine? What most people dont get is this- if Obamacare passes then your insurance

coverage will depend on how well YOU have done taking care of your health, ex. smart

diet, exericse, non smoker, non drinker, etc... if you have done a poor job then you

wont be one of the ones to get care as quickly as others who have. Then

what ever is wrong with you will either get worse or wont get cared for at all. Remember

Obama's HHS has plainly stated quality of life verses quantiy... THINK ABOUT IT ****


ROFLMAO : Yeah! Think about THAT! Imagine, striving for QUALITY of life! Imagine, people being pro-active in their OWN health! Oh that Obama!

So .... watch with the 'satire' ... Palinbots are just not bright enough to think it all through .. Remember, a majority of them believe Colbert is 'serious' Conservative!

You think those are funny??? Go to Sarah's blog on FB .... somebody there actually said the HC bills provides for coffins for people who don't make it through the death panel!

So .... be careful, I have no doubt there is NO IDEA too stupid to be dismissed by Palin's supporters ...

Hilarious blog! You do need to be careful, though. The wingnuts, the fringe, the members of the GOP are so gullible and stupid, they won't realize this is a joke and believe every word you say.

Watch Sarah Palin pick up, "If grandma's already dead, you have to pull the plug on grandpa--even if he's not sick'"

Watch Sarah Palin jump all over this. This will be part of her self -teaching public policy crash course as recommeneded by her Satanic buddy, Newt (reptilian) Gingrich..

Let's all watch this show up on Faux in a week or so and then at Town Hall meetings -- I'm telling you these people have no oars in the water they just circle the drain.

The right wingnuts will believe all this to be true so when that happens, we can hold him accountable.
This is something that is very serious and should be taken as such, making fun of a "BILL" that isn't even a bill yet, people's lives depend on getting a health care bill that covers the majority of American's. If any of your rep's vote against this bill when it does become a bill, vote them out in the next election.

Be sure to wear your Reynolds tinfoil hat during surgery!

Hey, the freaks who go to the town halls will literally believe this is TRUE.
