I failed to mention the details of the stimulus plan that will impact hundreds and thousands (perhaps millions?) of elderly. And the fact that this bill will REQUIRE doctors to report and electronically track your medical treatments per a federal system.
The Federal Council is modeled after a U.K. board discussed in Daschle's book, "Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis". This board approves or rejects treatments using a formula that divides the cost of the treatment by the number of years the patient is likely to benefit. Treatments for younger patients are more often approved than treatments for diseases that affect the elderly, such as osteoporosis.
Medicare now pays for treatments deemed safe and effective. The stimulus bill would change that and apply a cost- effectiveness standard set by the Federal Council (464).
In 2006, a U.K. health board decreed that elderly patients with macular degeneration had to wait until they went blind in one eye before they could get a costly new drug to save the other eye. It took almost three years of public protests before the board reversed its decision.
If the Obama administration's economic stimulus bill passes the Senate in its current form, seniors in the U.S. will face similar rationing. Defenders of the system say that individuals benefit in younger years and sacrifice later.
The liberals in Congress just won't stop. Now we have learned they are meeting in secret.
Ultra liberals in Congress are continuing to pull strings behind the scenes to give billions of dollars in taxpayer money to ACORN. They are working overtime to shove through billions and billions of dollars in wasteful spending to long term liberal special interest projects. They are doing this all under the continued guise of the stimulus package.
The price tag is still astonishing. $789 billion might be less than the Senates $838 billion, but its massively more than the $300 billion this bill originally was proposed at, and still tops a trillion dollars when interest is included. There's still $50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts, $600 million to buy cars for government workers, $88 million for ATV and bike trails and so much more waste. And, go to www.StimulusWatch.org to see the wish list of earmarks for cities and counties in your area. It will blow your mind.
Yet the liberal Democrats in Congress are trying to ram through this close to trillion-dollar spending bill anyway.
Say NO! To The Massive $1 Trillion Government Spending Spree!

Are you sick and tired of being lied to by members of Congress? Then do something about it!
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pledged on national television that under the Obama administration there would be no pork barrel spending. Watch Speaker Pelosi make that pledge.
On January 11, Speaker Pelosi publicly pledged "no pork" when being interviewed by Wolf Blitzer. She promptly broke that pledge when it was convenient to do so.
The trillion dollar stimulus bill pushed by Speaker Pelosi and passed overwhelmingly by the House has more pork spending than any bill in history! In fact, the bill (H.R.1) contains so much pork spending that Speaker Pelosi included $227 million simply for oversight of the pork barrel projects included in her stimulus bill. (Page 11 of the stimulus bill.)
See some of the pork included in this bill:

• Help us send one million e-mails to Speaker Pelosi. Tell Speaker Pelosi that you are fed up with pledges being made and broken.
• Please forward this to all your friends and family and ask them to take a pledge not to vote for a member, of either party, who lies to the people:
