Obama adviser, "and we're going to let you die"

The image at left may have been sent as a joke but if you listen to the advisers that Obama surrounds himself with, this is no time to be making sport of your health or mine. I wonder just how many of these advocates of expendable life for older folks because, "its too expensive and we're going to let you die" how they will feel when it's their turn to roll over and die. Robert Reich is an advisor to Obama and he's the one that made the above statement and from all outside perspectives Obama approves of this philosophy...if you can call it that. Reich is also one of the advisers who was pushing for passage of the latest health care bill due to some kind of urgency that has no rhyme or reason behind it. His urgency was simply that the Congress was going into a recess therefor the urgency. Now what kind of urgency is that?
Here's what he said, "Why is timing so important? Because the health-care clock is ticking, and doesn't have many weeks left. Universal health care is so complicated -- touching on so much of the economy, stepping on the toes of so many vested interests -- that to allow the bills to languish past recess risks the entire goal. Speed is essential. Recall that after Bill Clinton was elected, universal health insurance looked inevitable; a year later, it was doomed. As Lyndon Johnson warned his staff after the 1964 landslide, "every day while I'm in office, I'm gonna lose votes."
Speed is essential? Gimme a break! The bill has still not passed so what is so essential about it?

Meanwhile you don't want to miss those famous words, "...and we're going to let you die". ~ Norman E. Hooben
