Recently in Trillions in Debt Category

Should seniors be particularly worried about government taking over all of the nation's healthcare?

You better believe it.

The Wall Street Journal points out that inevitably "those who have lived the longest will find their care the most restricted."

Already Medicare is in worse financial shape than Social Security. Yet the Obama health planners say they are going to take three or four hundred billions out of Medicare to help pay for the trillions of additional costs that will be incurred for national health care for all.

Payments will have to be cut to health care providers (your doctor, your hospital) and health care services will have to be cut to the public, the oldest being first in line since, as President Obama says, they have the potential for costing the system the most.

Medicare and Medicaid now reimburse doctors and hospitals much less than do private insurance companies. It are those insurance compaies who now make it possible for our best-in-the-world health care system to survive. Under national health care they will disappear.

If it's only government paying the providers and its program is trillions of dollars in debt and only cuts in costs and services (and skyrocketing taxes) can keep it afloat, who would survive as a doctor? Who would want to become a doctor?

Announced just yesterday by radio, Kerry staffers are fanning out across the Cape to hear views on natioalized healthcare -- Obamacare -- that will add trillions to the national debt and put health decisions in the hands of government bureaucrats.

If you can, show up at Town Hall at 1:30 today to say no to nationalization of your health care. If you are on Medicare and are already feeling the hand of government rationing of drugs and treatments as costs spin out of control, imagine what it will be like when everyone is getting "free care" and the debt being piled on our children and grandchildren is soaring the sky. As the Wall Street Journal comments today, those who have lived the longest will feel the rationing the most.

Of course, the government health bureau so-called "death panels" probably wouldn't think too much of the handicapped either.

The senator is not flying over from Nantucket for any of the sessions to hear what the public has to say.

Obama has slashed defense spending at a time of growing peril. North Korea and Iran are both determined to menace the U.S. and the world with nuclear-armed missiles. China is building a modern navy to rival the U.S. at a furious pace.

Mitt Romney says the Adminisration is putting the country in grave danger.

Romney: President putting country in jeopardy

Romney will deliver a speech focused on missile defense on Monday.'
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Mitt Romney, eyeing a run at the presidency in 2012, is taking another step in fleshing out his foreign policy portfolio with a Monday speech to the conservative Heritage Foundation on the topic of defense spending.

According to excerpts of the speech provided to CNN, Romney will call the Obama administration's plan to trim more than $1 billion from missile defense programs a "grave miscalculation" that will put America at risk, especially given North Korea's nuclear provocations.

Romney says that Obama should push for "comprehensive, regime-crippling sanctions" against North Korea and "immediately reverse his recent decisions and strongly support completing our ballistic missile defense system."

In the speech, entitled "The Care of Freedom," Romney will also call on the administration to increase the modernization budget by $50 billion per year and to lock in total defense budgets at no less than four percent of GDP. But the military budget has been endangered, Romney argues, by the administration's domestic spending programs.
