More senior citizens will die from Obamacare than from any other government action

Democrats sacred cow is Medicare and Social Security because it is the means to control senior citizens. Even though both entitlement programs are going bankrupt, Democrats will do anything to preserve it to protect the senior vote. Even though a special committee designed by Obama recommended to cut benefits and increase the retirement age to keep both entitlement programs solvent, Democrats are putting all the blame on the GOP for entertaining the thought in tinkering with Social Security and Medicare. But let us be honest, Social Security and Medicare aren't the real issue for seniors. It is the death panels and rationed care with Obamacare that really scares seniors. Rush is correct to say that senior citizens will die from Obamacare than from any other government action in this country.


Transcript from the Rush Limbaugh Show relating to the the DNC Chairman Debbie Schultz reaction to Paul Ryan's budget

SCHULTZ: We see a clear attempt for the government to back out of its commitment to seniors. As a result, many seniors in America will be forced into poverty, and worse, some seniors will end up dying because they are forced to put off getting that pain checked out due to huge out-of-pocket costs that will skyrocket for them. This Republican path to poverty is just wrong.

RUSH: Seniors will end up dying. The streets, ladies and gentlemen, will be littered with the corpses of seasoned citizens. This is like the good old days. This is exactly what they used to say. When did I make my GOPAC speech, 1994, 1995? This is hilarious. Back in 1994 the Republicans, of course, took over the House and the budget battle of 1995 is going on, the Democrats were saying the basic same stuff, extremist, gonna kill the elderly, gonna leave 'em dead to die on the streets, and I went to speak to GOPAC, and I opened up, said, "I want to welcome all of my fellow extremists as we sit here and plot the death of American seasoned citizens. And I just want to let you people know, I am taking it seriously. I went out and I bought my mother a brand-new can opener so she'll have no problem opening the dog food." Pat Schroeder goes to the floor of the House and makes a big speech suggesting that this is who they are, this is the Big Kahuna, the Big Kahuna Rush Limbaugh admits that he's gonna get his mother a can opener so she can easily eat the dog food. And then somebody said, "You know, that was a joke." She was profoundly embarrassed. They're just recycling it now.

Let me tell you something. Politico, are you listening? (laughing) More senior citizens will die from Obamacare than from any other government action in this country. More senior citizens will die due to health rationing of Obamacare than anything else that government does in its history, outside, of course, of the Civil War. It is Barack Obama himself conducting an ABC town hall way back, two years ago. Woman shows up and raises her hand, (paraphrasing) "Mr. Obama, I got a question." He says, "You may ask it." "My mother is 98 years old, needs a pacemaker. Her will to live is strong. She's perfectly fine except for the pacemaker. Will you permit --" you know, I'm cringing at that. Here we got a citizen asking the president, "Will you permit my mother to have a pacemaker?" and you know what Obama said? "Well, I don't think we can calculate spirit or will to live. Just give her a pill." So the leader of the regime says, "Give a pill, let 'em die."

There will be health rationing. Senior citizens, Paul Ryan is trying to save them. Paul Ryan is giving them an option to either stay in Medicare or join a pool in the private sector, whichever they can best afford, whatever they want to choose. It's called freedom of choice for their health care. It does not mandate they go before Obamacare death panels. And yet here's Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Republicans are gonna leave senior citizens as corpses in the streets. Some seniors will end up dying because they're forced to put off getting that pain checked out. So seniors are gonna sit around, they're gonna suffer pain, but they're not gonna be able to go to the doctor to get the pain checked out, and the pain's gonna be deadly, bam. There are corpses in the street. What's going to happen with Obamacare, they feel the pain, they go to the doctor, the doctor consults the regime, the regime says, "How old is this woman? Well, screw it, we're not gonna invest in making her well. She's only got five years to live anyway, so to hell with it. Give her a pill." That's what Debbie Wasserman Schultz is for. Here's a continuation of her reaction to Paul Ryan.

SCHULTZ: No longer would Medicare be a guarantee of health insurance coverage. Instead, Medicare would become little more than a discount card. This plan would literally be a death trap for some seniors.

RUSH: All right, so we're back at it, just recycling the whole thing. Republicans and their budget: a death trap for senior citizens. A death trap. (laughing) I'm sorry. I can't avoid laughing at this. Now, I know some of you hear this stuff and you just get livid and you get angry. I used to, too. And some days I still do. You see, I can't imagine people believing this. I know some people are going to. But at some point this stuff's all gonna catch up with them. You can't keep going back to the well. If the dead are gonna be in the streets, they better show up at some point. You're gonna say that a policy is gonna lead to senior citizen corpses in the streets, there had better be some, otherwise you have no credibility.
