Everyone knows that dying in America is expensive. According to one typical study, 6 percent of Medicare recipients NEAR THE END OF LIFE CONSUME 28 PERCENT OF MEDICARE DOLLARS. According to another study: "...because the terminally ill often are hospitalized and may be candidates for the intensive care unit (ICU), and because the ICU is particularly resource-intensive, reducing use of the ICU among such patients appears to present unique opportunities for cost reduction."http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/archive/x719608853/Stopa-Rationing-by-any-other-name#ixzz1ITmBZl7H
Nevertheless, A RECENTLY RELEASED REPORT BY THE EXPERT PANEL ON END OF LIFE CARE organized under Governor Patrick's Health Care Quality and Cost Control Council EMPHASIZES THAT MANY MORE OF US WOULD RATHER DIE AT HOME; that we want that familiar view out our bedroom window instead of those cold, faceless hospital rooms with all those complicated machines. MANY OF US ARE WILLING, NAY EAGER TO LET SLIP THE MORTAL COIL IF WE CAN ONLY DO SO IN A MORE CARING, DIGNIFIED ENVIRONMENT. In short, in the words of panel co-chair Lachlan Forrow: "our expert commission actually wanted people not to think about cost. That's not the point….."
The democrats will never admit that rationing is what they are leading us to. They rail against Sarah Palin’s characterization of “death panels,” but that is exactly what is coming.
Where’s the openness, Mr. President?
The day after his inauguration, PRESIDENT OBAMA PROMISED A NEW ERA OF “OPENNESS IN GOVERNMENT.”
But the reality has not matched the president’s rhetoric. We, PRESIDENTS OF TWO OF THE NATION’S LARGEST JOURNALISM ORGANIZATIONS, and many of our thousands of members, HAVE FOUND LITTLE OPENNESS SINCE OBAMA TOOK OFFICE. If anything, the administration has gone in the opposite direction: IMPOSING RESTRICTIONS ON REPORTERS’ NEWSGATHERING THAT EXCEED EVEN THE CONSTRAINTS PUT IN PLACE BY PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH….

Truth seems to be a major casualty of the Obama Administration.
Explaining Obama’s Incoherence
For as long as I can remember scientists have been trying to put together A THEORY OF EVERYTHING WHICH WOULD EXPLAIN AND CONNECT ALL THE KNOWLEDGE WE HAVE OF PHYSICAL PHENOMENA. So far they haven't been successful, but they keep trying. I wondered IF IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO EXPLAIN THE MANY CONTRADICTIONS OF OBAMA and the mystery of his origins and incomprehensible nature of his domestic and foreign policies to better understand him and predict why he seems to be steering the ship of state onto the shoals
I think I've finally got it, though a night of watching old movies -- "The Man in the Iron Mask" and "The Prince and the Pauper" -- helped me along.
Barack is not one person. THE MAN WE KNOW AS BARACK OBAMA IS REALLY TWO PEOPLE, IDENTICAL (POSSIBLY CONJOINED AT THE HEAD JANUS-LIKE BUT LATER SEPARATED) TWINS. Don't laugh. I'll explain….http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/04/the_unified_theory_of_obama.html
Actually do laugh. This is a funny write up which you should enjoy.
Man’s best friend comes through
A missing 2-year-old boy in Elgin was found Saturday morning after Kershaw County deputies say the family dog kept him warm and safe all night.http://www.wistv.com/Global/story.asp?S=14369871
Sheriff Jim Matthews said 22-month-old Tyler Jacobson was reunited with his family after he was found across the street behind a neighbor's home when someone reported hearing crying in the area.
Tyler was reported missing around 8:00pm Friday from a residence on Ashley Creek Drive. Matthews said the boy's mother, 25-year-old Jacklyn Marie Jacobson, and her boyfriend Jose Gloria told investigators Tyler went to get some juice and didn't come back.
This is one of those feel good stories that can make your day better.
