Former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop Speaks Out On Obamacare
From 60 Plus.org
60 Plus announced a new advertising campaign featuring former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop. The ad which targets Congress asks people to call their Representatives and Senators and urge them to Start Over - Get Healthcare Right.
The ad highlights C. Everett Koop telling viewers he is 93 years old and Im here with 2 artificial joints, 2 pacemakers to keep my heart in rhythm, as well as a stent to keep my coronaries open. He goes on to say seniors might not get the care they need at advanced ages under the new plans, and asserts that the discussions over a final plan should NOT be held in secret.
Koop:
"I'm 93, and thank God for every year, I'm here with 2 artificial joints, 2 pacemakers to keep my heart in rhythm as well as a stent to keep my coronaries open, seniors in this country can get the same care I receive, but in some countries, like the United Kingdom we would be considered too old and the cost to the state too high, it is vital that seniors understand what congress is doing, but Democrats are working on a health care bill and keeping the discussion and specifics secret.
We seniors are concerned about proposals that would reduce Medicare spending, the Administration promised transparent deliberation which has not been forthcoming, America deserves better than this"
C. Evertt Coop served as thirteenth Surgeon General of the United States under President Ronald Reagan from 1982 to 1989

The old Doc, has it right. Tell them to start over again and get it right. Unfortunately getting it right is not the Lefts concern, getting it to exist is the only thing. Right, wrong it doesn't matter, besides it's really not about Health Care anyway.
