HR 3200 or U.S. House of Representatives Bill 3200 is said by critics to call for macabre end-of-life tough talk to the elderly.  They argue that this will eventually lead to a government committee, or “death squad”, which will make life or death decisions regarding treatment allocation for sick patients.

This interpretation is bolstered by comments that can be loosely construed as supporting such a policy, according to opponents, who say Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, brother to Rahm and a health-care advisor to the president, made regarding treatment (or non-treatment) for patients with chronic conditions.  The comment that President Obama made at one of his town hall meetings is also given as proof, when he told the young lady that, perhaps her 90 something year old mother might have chosen to take a pain pill, rather than have a heart operation to prolong her life.

Having gone through last minute medical decisions that patients and their families are required to make, with my dad, I can see the value of being made aware of the medical options one has when facing an imminent death situation.

As one who has visited the site of the Nazi concentration camp at Dachau and visited the sites of the birth of Nazism in Munich, Germany, and who fears the dangers of majority mob rule by an all powerful government (right wing or left wing), I can understand those that recoil at the idea of granting government with any decisions regarding their personal health care.

However, the death squad that I fear is the panel of Obama appointees that are administering the slow death of the American economy. 

The Office of Management and Budget, the nonpartisan office of the federal government, predicts that the Obama programs will add approximately ten trillion dollars to the national debt over the next ten years.

From turtle tunnels provided in an eight hundred billion dollar Stimulus package,  GM bailout,  funding for uncompetitive banks, Cap and Trade agreements, budget busting spending, to the trillion dollar ObamaCare program, when compared to the spending habits of drunken sailors, we give drunken sailors a bad name!

The health care reform bill will add a trillion dollars itself, even with the purported savings that the plan may or may not bring. 

That means Obama will have doubled entire debt built up during the history of the U.S. in just one term if Obamacare is added to his 2009 to 2010 budget. 

With the unfunded liabilities connected with Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, our financial future is unsustainable. 

It is difficult to imagine that this president can summon the political backbone to stand up to the spending orgies organized by the Pelosis and the Reeds of his party, not when he spends as recklessly as they do.

It will take a national town hall meeting called an election where any politician who refuses to fight this free spending addiction, is thrown from his office to take control of the predictable calamity that awaits us.
