The man had him the son should be his responsibility. Why should I pay for someones elses care. Now is this the right consertive compassinate answer to this. After all the old man should have thought ahead and planned on taking care of his son.

You did not listen. He is taking care of his son at present. He is afraid that option will be taken away from him, if forced into a one payer solution.

What services will be rationed? If you have to buy additional coverage from private firms to provide services not covered under a one payer system, is it going to cost more or less than the insurance you already have?

He asks for answers, he was told their was an amendment to take care of the issue. Why would an amendment even be needed to amend a exception for handicapped under this Health Care reform.

He brought up some very valid points. If he is misunderstanding the bill, then answer his question and confirm that a bill containing those types of provisions that he fears will not be voted for.

Why was he threatened by those that support this bill?

pretty scary that these thugs are not just beating people at the meetings but they are following people home and threatening them in their own homes TOO. Is this what you liberals want to happen or has the Chicago style crap gone on long enough? What is it going to take for you to wake up and realize the US is in trouble and Obama is throwing fuel on the fire when he tells opponents to his agenda to SHUT UP. :x

I wonder why Handicapped or their Family members don't trust Government run Health Care

Rationing of Health Care

For people who are struggling to receive health care right now, the health care reform bill might seem heaven-sent. At this time, anyone can enter a hospital in any city and receive health care whether they have insurance or not. If the government controls health care, there will be a decision making process involved in relation to health care. Questions will arise in regards to who is worthy of what kind of treatment. Given the United States Government's consideration and treatment of people with disabilities where programs such as SSI and SSDI, Medicare and Medicaid are concerned – I do not trust the government with my health care. I simply do not trust Uncle Sam to give me the benefit of the doubt and provide care for me. I do not trust the United States Government to look at me, as a person with disabilities, and view me as being, 'worthy,' of receiving all of the health care I require. The same government that wants to take charge of my health care cannot even manage to view people with disabilities as being, 'worthy,' of equal employment opportunities, or living out of poverty.

Debbie Brown, a Sacramento woman, has been using a no-frills wheelchair provided by Medicare at a cost to taxpayers of about $1,200.

CNN went to Apria Healthcare, the same company that charges Medicare for the rental of Brown’s wheelchair, and paid cash for a comparable model. The cost: $349, or about a fourth of what taxpayers have paid to rent a chair for Brown.

Brown says taxpayers should be outraged.

Death Drugs Cause Uproar in Oregon
Terminally Ill Denied Drugs for Life, But Can Opt for Suicide
By SUSAN DONALDSON JAMES
Aug. 6, 2008
The news from Barbara Wagner's doctor was bad, but the rejection letter from her insurance company was crushing.

The 64-year-old Oregon woman, whose lung cancer had been in remission, learned the disease had returned and would likely kill her. Her last hope was a $4,000-a-month drug that her doctor prescribed for her, but the insurance company refused to pay.

What the Oregon Health Plan did agree to cover, however, were drugs for a physician-assisted death. Those drugs would cost about $50.

"It was horrible," Wagner told ABCNews.com. "I got a letter in the mail that basically said if you want to take the pills, we will help you get that from the doctor and we will stand there and watch you die. But we won't give you the medication to live."
