With all of the talk about repealing Obamacare, or the Supreme Court ruling it unconstitutional, all of the focus is on the mandate to purchase insurance.

In the meantime, Obama & his surrogates have proceeded to implement as much of his plan as possible, the most dangerous being the establishment of his death panel .

The Independent Payment Advisory Board is 15 non-medical members appointed by the president.  Its recommendations for cuts in Medicare services or for reductions in reimbursement were not subject to congressional approval but took effect immediately by administrative fiat.

They not only regulate the budget for Medicare, but decide on which treatments to allow based on COST-EFFECTIVENESS, not effectiveness.

Obama already stripped 500 billion from Medicare (retired PROVIDERS) gave it to Medicaid (non- or never- working TAKERS), thus throwing all hard-working grannies over the cliff. (And they DARE to accuse Ryan).

But the real chill settled in with a story I heard a few weeks ago.  Can't get it out of my mind.

An extremely fit 78-yr-old man in England who is on a rowing team developed bladder cancer. The British healthcare board ruled him too old for treatment - even denying him pain-killing medication. His daughter fought the government but lost. She then spent 3,000 British Pounds of her own money to get treatment for her father. The cancer was cured, and he's rowing again.

The difference with Obama's death panel is that it is ILLEGAL to pay cash for denied treatment under Obamacare.

This panel tried but failed to set limits for mammograms, and is now attempting to eliminate PSA tests for men.

So the big question for our upcoming meeting (SOMEBODY PLEASE FOCUS ON THIS) is not whether the mandate to pay will be struck down, but whether the death panel will be eliminated.  I fear the Ruling Class RINOs and extreme lefty Democrats in the Federal government when they talk about looking at the plan and adjusting it.

The death panel MUST BE ELIMINATED COMPLETELY before starting over with a common-sense plan.

If the death panel is not eliminated, all us seniors (and all who will become seniors, you young 'uns) are doomed, as I firmly believe that most in Congress will find this panel a convenient way to dispose of baby boomers and eliminate all those greedy geezers (who paid the bill, by the way) so as to balance the budget.

OBAMA - DON'T KILL SENIORS ! ! !

Watch for this in the future.  I will be surprised if anyone in Congress  or any news outlet even mentions elimination of the death panel.  After all, to them, you & I are only “the masses”.

The following is a shocking, scary e-mail sent to Wisconsin GOP senators last night at around 9:30 pm, shortly after the Senate passed an anti-union bill. Not only does the e-mail threaten the senators with death, but it also vows “your familes [sic] will also be killed due to your actions in the last 8 weeks.”

Local station WTMJ in Milwaukee obtained the e-mail, and has redacted the sender’s name pending an investigation by the police (emphasis added and spelling and grammar mistakes have not been corrected):

Subject: Atten: Death threat!!!! Bomb!!!!

Please put your things in order because you will be killed and your familes
will also be killed due to your actions in the last 8 weeks. Please explain
to them that this is because if we get rid of you and your families then it
will save the rights of 300,000 people and also be able to close the deficit
that you have created. I hope you have a good time in hell. Read below for
more information on possible scenarios in which you will die.

WE want to make this perfectly clear. Because of your actions today and in
the past couple of weeks I and the group of people that are working with me
have decided that we’ve had enough. We feel that you and the people that
support the dictator have to die. We have tried many other ways of dealing
with your corruption but you have taken things too far and we will not stand
for it any longer. So, this is how it’s going to happen: I as well as many
others know where you and your family live, it’s a matter of public records.
We have all planned to assult you by arriving at your house and putting a
nice little bullet in your head. However, we decided that we wouldn’t leave
it there. We also have decided that this may not be enough to send the
message to you since you are so “high” on Koch and have decided that you are
now going to single handedly make this a dictatorship instead of a
demorcratic process. So we have also built several bombs that we have placed
in various locations around the areas in which we know that you frequent.
This includes, your house, your car, the state capitol, and well I won’t
tell you all of them because that’s just no fun. Since we know that you are
not smart enough to figure out why this is happening to you we have decided
to make it perfectly clear to you. If you and your goonies feel that it’s
necessary to strip the rights of 300,000 people and ruin their lives, making
them unable to feed, clothe, and provide the necessities to their families
and themselves then We Will “get rid of” (in which I mean kill) you. Please
understand that this does not include the heroic Rep. Senator that risked
everything to go aganist what you and your goonies wanted him to do. We feel
that it’s worth our lives to do this, because we would be saving the lives
of 300,000 people. Please make your peace with God as soon as possible and
say goodbye to your loved ones we will not wait any longer. YOU WILL DIE!!!!
