New York Times To Seniors: Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid.
Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 10:06 AM
Even the New York Times has to admit that Obamacare would push granny and gramps to an early grave. Sure, Robert Pear tries to deliver the news gently, but if the Times is telling the seniors to be worried, that’s an unmistakable signal to seniors that Obamacare is very bad news for them. The Democrats in Congress are trying to build their political base on the backs of the nation’s elderly, and the elderly won’t forget that in 15 months. After years of warning seniors that the GOP was gunning for them, the Obama-Pelosi coalition has emerged as the single greatest threat to the Greatest Generation (and even the front edge of the Boomers.)
President Obama’s dropping approval ratings don’t fully reflect the senior’s increasing fear of his proposals. But they will, and very soon. The more the president invests in Obamacare, the more Congressional Democrats will pay in next fall’s elections. An abandonment of the botched plan could lead to an Obama rebound and a fresh round of willingness to believe in his potential to chart a new course in American politics, but given his increasingly strident rhetoric, his circle of advisors and their interests, and his commitment to Alinskyite/Chicago rules, expect him to press forward no matter how disastrous the consequences to the Blue Dogs and various Senate Democrats.

Love the 1st responder ”50% skip doctors appointments as they can’t afford them” Ho yes they are all on Med-care Which is exactly what their asking for Socialised health care
This same type try and tell us we are on par with Cuba with our health care You bet a country short on toilet paper A country that flew in doctors and equipment from Spain to care for the old fart as they want to save the good doctors for the people
You really can’t believe one word his side says They just make things up as they go

Seniors are in trouble now. Statistics say over half of them skip important doctors appointments or med refills because they can’t afford it.
This is what happens when you become obsolete machinary in a capitalist country.

please post and highlight the segment that endorses euthanasia, unless you have made it up, in which case you won’t be able to substantiate your little fantasy!

You don’t think for one minute that Obama really cares about seniors do you?

His humongous ego won’t let him.
