“We’re going to have to, if you’re very old, we’re not going to give you all that technology and all those drugs for the last couple of years of your life to keep you maybe going for another couple of months. It’s too expensive, so we’re going to let you die.”
The words shown above and captured in the video above were spoken by former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich during a speech about what an “honest president” would say about health care reform. Though the Clinton cabinet member’s words were uttered at the University of California-Berkeley on Sept. 26, 2007, they constitute what is, perhaps, the most truthful statement made about the so-called health care reform plan (a.k.a., “ObamaCare”) being pushed by President Barack Obama and his liberal allies in Congress.

Watch what happens when that little cretin and his obot buddies gets into their 70′s or 80′s and they are turned down for medically because they are too old and it is too expensive. The whining and crying will commence…and another obot will get into office and reform the reform obotcare!!! (Can’t wait for that one!)
