Back in 2008-2009, as I watched from the sidelines while Team Obama and the Nancy Pelosis proposed and implemented Obamacare, many Americans as well as USAA members's public comments espoused concerns that the new law would someday lead to universal healthcare and “death panels”. Our President scoffed at this accusation. Today, I scoff at him and my very own Democratic party who are clearly up to “no good”. Our Democrats friends knew that they might not need to use “death panels” to achieve their goal. A new tax might take care of this for them. Since doctors prescribe, order, and use these devices, and since hospitals purchase them in conjunction with surgeries and treatments rendered to seniors, the new tax would put downward pressure on medical device sales as hospitals and doctors react to heat also put on them to contain costs to help control the rising cost of health insurance.   Indeed ObamaCare puts enough pressure on ALL players in the healthcare arena that everybody will feel the heat! Yes, the new sales tax levied against manufacturers of medical devices will most directly affect these businesses. But, more importantly, the new tax will hit end users who are seniors. I am convinced that our President and our party have made us, the seniors, the target market of this new law. From the perspective of concerns about our federal budget, seniors impose the greatest burden. Our government simply must reduce this financial burden, correct? Instead of needing to use death panels, Mr. Obama knew they could reduce the burden by levying a sales tax on the manufacturers who produce devices used to treat seniors. Doctors and hospitals who feel the financial constraints of the new law will likely prescribe and use fewer medical devices to treat them. The result: more elderly will die sooner. The quicker they die, and the more who die, the greater the reduction in the financial burden on the federal budget for Social Security and for Medicare. Dems regard this as “common good” that looks out for future generations who must contend with our federal debt.  HA! I see the deceptive strategy in our President’s law! He and our Dems friends have not tricked some of us. We know that they don’t need death panels to kill off the elderly. They can accomplish the same goal by levying a sales tax against producers of medical devices used to sustain senior lives. Thank you for listening, Your thoughts?

  If Romney had won, it would be NO compromise and the wealthy would not be asked to pay any rate hike and we would be looking at a Voucher healthcare  system and privatizing S.S. So yes it could be much worse, but I dont feel President Obama should be compromising with $1 Trillion in healthcare cuts. In my opinion there was no other choice, that had a chance of stopping the Plutocratic Republican Tea party movement of today.Response to Re: I am a Obama voter and i am having a Buyer Remorse confession, here's why. :
