Obama’s Death Knell for the Elderly
- Guest Column-- Sharon Sebastian Thursday, August 16, 2012
Under Barack Obama, America is facing an explosion of the
elderly poor. The facts are in, the strategy revealed. If Barack Obama and the
Democrats win the upcoming election, an ugly era of population engineering, the
steady elimination of our elderly through Obamacare will lead to a crisis in
humanity.
In addition to Social Security,
America’s retirees rely on varied combinations of their savings, investments,
company pensions, and Medicare for their existence, all of which are targets of
Obama’s war on the elderly.
During a 2008 televised political debate, candidate
Barack Obama was asked were he to become President, where would he first cut
spending. Obama stalled and stammered hoping the clock would run out so he
could avoid answering.
The debate moderator again demanded an answer. Seconds
before the buzzer sounded, a reluctant Obama answered, “Medicare.” Sounding
along with that buzzer was a death knell for American seniors. Obama had set
his sights on America’s greatest generation and those following swiftly on
their heels. At a 2010 House Retreat, when asked directly, Obama responded to
now Republican Vice-Presidential nominee Paul Ryan, that his answer to fixing
Medicare is Obamacare. During a CBS 60 Minutes interview, citing numbers from
the Congressional Budget Office, Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney
pointed out that Obama’s destruction of Medicare is well underway, “There’s
only one president that I know of in history that robbed Medicare – [$741]
billion to pay for a new risky program of his own that we call Obamacare.”
Built-in
delays put off the Obamacare nightmare until after the election.
Denying control of medical decisions normally made by patients, their
families and doctors, Obamacare outsources your personal decisions to a
bloated government bureaucracy run by unelected, leftist ideologues.
Extensive cuts to senior care are in the offing with fill-in-the-blank
clauses purposely left open to be completed at the discretion of those
who control Obamacare. On CBS 60 Minutes, Paul Ryan stated he has a
personal reason to fight for seniors to remain on Medicare as it now
exists. “My mom is a Medicare senior in Florida. Our point is we need to
preserve their benefits, because government made promises to them that
they’ve organized their retirements around. In order to make sure we can
do that, you must reform it for those of us who are younger.” Ryan
stresses that everyone over the age of 55 will keep Medicare as it now
exists for the rest of their lives. Proposed is the option for those
under 55 to choose Medicare or new alternatives.
