Ezekial Emanual (Rahm's Bro) Quotes

One of Buckwheats Health Advisors:


"Strict youngest-first allocation directs scarce resources predominantly to infants. This approach seems incorrect. The death of a 20-year-old woman is intuitively worse than that of a 2-month-old girl, even though the baby has had less life. The 20-year-old has a much more developed personality than the infant, and has drawn upon the investment of others to begin as-yet-unfulfilled projects.... Adolescents have received substantial substantial education and parental care, investments that will be wasted without a complete life. Infants, by contrast, have not yet received these investments.... It is terrible when an infant dies, but worse, most people think, when a three-year-old child dies, and worse still when an adolescent does."

"Unlike allocation by sex or race, allocation by age is not invidious discrimination; every person lives through different life stages rather than being a single age. Even if 25-year-olds receive priority over 65-year-olds, everyone who is 65 years now was previously 25 years. Treating 65-year olds differently because of stereotypes or falsehoods would be ageist; treating them differently because they have already had more life-years is not."

"Ultimately, the complete lives system does not create 'classes of Untermenschen whose lives and well being are deemed not worth spending money on,' but rather empowers us to decide fairly whom to save when genuine scarcity makes saving everyone impossible."

"When implemented, the complete lives system produces a priority curve on which individuals aged between roughly 15 and 40 years get the most substantial chance, whereas the youngest and oldest people get chances that are attenuated"

"Every favor to a constituency should be linked to support for the health-care reform agenda. If the automakers want a bailout, then they and their suppliers have to agree to support and lobby for the administration's health-reform effort."

A decade ago, when many doctors wanted to legalize euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide, Dr. Emanuel opposed it. He challenged a common stereotype of patients expressing interest in euthanasia. In most cases, he found, the patients were not in excruciating pain. They were depressed and did not want to be a burden to their loved ones.

Provide the link...of the paper itself...not a neocon synopsis.

you commented in the thread, go look for it, if you would please.

I provide quite a bit of information you refuse to look at and then you attack me for providing false information.

It is obvious that you do not know what you are talking about.

No it's not...I don't read every single thread, or every single response...especially if I'm away from my computer for a day or two at a time. Maybe it was one of those times...so, if you would please, provide me the link.

This is like your state Insurance Commissioner....It came about because of all the varying laws from state to state- and complaints on insurance companies dropping people- or not giving people adequate coverage- etc. etc....
The only medical guidelines set up would be the "minimums" insurance companies could get away with- where they are already screwing folks on.....

I can't remember for sure- but think this is another one the insurance industry first asked for- because they knew their butts were in the frying pan- and they admitted they had been unable to police themselves- and wanted all to be on a level playing field...[/quote]

Look at the Czars, look at the new framework being created. Look at who defends this and you will find those hoping to be part of the new Reich.
