Euthanizing old people conspiracies are crazy

Dr. Bill Thomas here to tell you that there is no conspiracy by the government to euthanize older adults. Political interests opposed to health care reform are grossly distorting a sensible provision to cover private consultations with your doctor to discuss end-of-life care, which is a good thing.

Dr. Bill is hot

Rahm Emanuel's brother laid out the plan to deny life saving surgeries for older, non-tax generating citizens. And yes he is an advisor to Obama. What's crazy is that people cannot see past the deception that their messiah lays out.

The paranoia here is just amazing. I pretty much considered George W. Bush public enemy #1 but if someone had told me that President Bush wanted a healthcare plan that euthanized seniors I would have told them they're nuts.

Everything the government does ends up a disaster? You're dissing our veterans, our police officers and firefighters, and our highway system.

And take off the blinders about the private healthcare industry - an industry that has to turn a profit to make stockholder happy and pay corporate CEOs multimillion dollar salaries. THEY are the ones who are denying care to people for being too old. If you're 60 and need a new kidney, your private insurance won't pay for it. 65+? Medicare will.

Dr. Thomas is truly a leader in all things associated with aging and can be trusted to tell the truth. Share this video with those who are listening to the crazies who say that the government wants to kill old people!

The misinformation and outright lies are amazing out there. We are heading for trouble with the booming aging population. We need early identification of dementia and regulation and training for health care workers like aides and PSWs, to prevent elder abuse and neglect.
