Obamacare: THE FINAL FRONTIER

Star Trek has been a wildly popular franchise. In one episode Captain Kirk and crew were drawn to a planet to save their people. The good guys were at war with the bad guys. But the war was not really fought, the people were sent into a transporter and were just gone.


Seventy-seven year old Ted Kennedy died about 15 months after receiving the chilling diagnosis of brain cancer. Each of us would be crushed to hear that news. As a wealthy man, Kennedy received the best possible treatment.


A 77 year old citizen with the same diagnosis under Obamacare would not receive the same treatment as Kennedy. He/she would be too old. In fact, no member of the Congressional Delegation would commit to Obamacare for themselves or their families. Why should they? They will receive the best medical for the rest of their lives.


Congress and Obama want to foist this healthcare on the American People. We would become numbers to them. Not a person. The same way they view a baby in the womb. These babies become fetuses; not people. As we age, we will become blobs of tissue not people to them.


On Star Trek space was the Final Fronteir and pure entertainment. But if the progressives have their way aged people will disappear the same way the people disappeared in the transporter. Please contact the members of your congressional delegation and President Obama to say NO to health care reform.
