i received the following from an elderly lady who spends much time with the more conservative wing of Christianity.
Please read and listen to this interview.
Subject: Fwd: Listen up...this is serious...you are about to lose most
of yourmedicare coverage...
This is REALLY serious and worth the 8 minutes. It is an interview
between Fred Thompson and Betsy McCaughey, former Lt. Governor of NY,
and currently Chairperson, Committee to Reduce Infectious Deaths, and
also Patient Advocate. It not only affects those of us whose parent(s)
are still alive, but also those of us who are baby boomers, etc. She
has read the entire proposed health bill. This is the bill that Obama
is frantically trying to get approved before any of us citizens are
able to read and/or understand the contents and impact.
One reference Betsy makes (and she makes many) of the proposed health
bill (p. 16-17) is that we will no longer be able to keep our current
health insurance under the new health plan.
PLEASE listen to this interview and pass this email to as many people
as possible. Thanks.
Rita?
This is a little long 8 minutes but it covers the discussion we were
having at lunch yesterday.
Every senior better listen to this. There is a rush to pass this
bill because they do not want the public to get hold of all these facts
that are buried in the health bill.
Listen to what Betsy McCaughey (an expert who has read the 1000+ pages)
says about the bill. This is serious for us seniors! You, as a
senior, are going to have to support the cost of this bill by losing
lots of coverage ($500,000,000,000.00) that you are utilizing. The
'cost effectiveness' in this bill will come out of the treatments you
will need and formerly expected to be there for you. AND, do you
want to be counselled on how to end your life!

I suspect this is wingnut propaganda. As a New Yorker I know Betsy McCaughey was a part of the attempt to kill Hillary Care in 1994. I suspect she is up to it again. But many of the people this is sent to will believe it. This is why health care reform is in trouble.
