@TopherSpiro -- let's call it NaziCare. NO food or healthcare 4 impoverished seniors; just choices (suicide, starvation, or homelessness)!

Roughly, for every 1 million people without healthcare, 1,000 die because they lack it
http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2009/09/new-study-finds-45000-deaths-annually-linked-to-lack-of-health-coverage/
Between 2018 and 2026, 14 million who lose healthcare in 2018 will become 24 million without healthcare in 2026.
Extrapolating those numbers, in the first ten years of this policy around 190,000 Americans will DIE!
Ten times that, close to 2 million, are much more likely to suffer from more serious health issues due to a lack of treatment.
This policy, based on their racial hatred of the man who championed a real solution, is not merely death panel rhetoric. It's a death sentence for a lot of Americans. If 1600 or so read this thread, odds are that one of you will die because of this. Think about that.
The adjective for the policy might be too nice.

Plus, "nazicare's" just plain stupid. It's not. Leave that kind of dishonesty to the Bannons.

(42,700 posts)It's not going to convince anyone to oppose it if they don't already. And it's going to make a lot of people who do oppose it uncomfortable.

(1,606 posts)Remember, the "solution" included elimination of the disabled, "undesirables", elderly, poor, and certain "types" that the Nazis deemed unfit to be in society. And that's what Bannon & co are all about. Eliminating healthcare is just one part of that!
Yep it's NaziCare.
