I get what I can afford. If I can't afford it, I do without. If I get cancer and I can't afford the treatment, then I guess I'll just die. And that doesn't bother me in the least. I'm right with God and don't think it's the duty of the populace at large or the taxpayers to keep me alive.

That's the current reality, determined in part by a CEO whose daily salary is more than the total cost of the pacemaker.

Rand Paul is a candidate that will destroy their communist agendas if elected. People are finally waking up and realizing what the Democratic Communist Party is all about.

What do you propose to do about this? Are these CURRENT death panels? Pull your heads out of the insurance corporation CEOs and their lobbists @$$ and look at what is happening around you. what about the number of people – old, young, and middle aged – who die every year NOW because they either do not have health insurance or cannot afford the co-pays / percentages required by their health plan?

He was talking about a committee that will decide what treatments are worth paying for based on age. Obama made a similar comment when talking about the 105 year old that had a pacement installed at 100. He said "we" will have to tell doctors if maybe a pain pill is better than surgery. That is what he meant. If 1 out of 10 100 year olds don't benefit from treatment then Grandma is a statistic. Dr. Paul was not talking about End of Life Counseling in his Grandma interview.

It was 1992 that Trey Grayson was campaigning for Clinton. Btw, what about the rumors that he was also a Clinton Delegate? Do you know if that is true? I heard he denies that, but not the actual campaigning for Clinton part. pocks, I stand corrected.

Anyone who talks of the "death panels" in the health care bill cannot be very intelligent. We don't need more dumb politicians. Remember Bush and Palin? This guy is an idiot.
