I’m a senor citizen and have been fighting insurance companies for more than 40 years, but the worst is yet to come. The Obama health care proposal if passed will strip seniors of life saving medical care.

        If you are over 65, under universal healthcare, which I call socialized medicine, colonoscopies will be limited as they are in Canada which led to a 25% increase in the rate of colon cancer, and because the plan did not cover two of the best chemotherapies, 43% of Canadians with colon cancer died.

        Even if you are wealthy, say good-by to your private plan, because the government subsidized plan will be preferred by employers to the more expensive private plan. A private plan cannot continue in business with out employer support.

        Medical care will be rationed. If you’re 40 you get a new knee. If you’re 70 you live with the old one as best you can. If you need a new hip, and you’re old, it will be put into a younger person and you will just have to use a wheelchair. If there are two people waiting for a life saving procedure and you’re the oldest, you go last, that’s if you don’t die first.

        AARP will be compensated, perhaps by becoming a vender, so don’t expect any help from the AARP. If you are over 65 write to your Congressman and tell him you are opposed to universal healthcare. The life you save may be your own.
