Hip, knee replacement surgery for seniors threatened with Medicare cuts


We knew this would happen, and this is only the beginning.  source The very young, the very old, the chronically ill, the physically and mentally disabled will eventually be seen as consuming too many resources and will be denied care. If we continue on the road the ACA has has set for us, that will be the case. We will gradually become inured to the suffering and needs of our most vulnerable citizens. Our society will become cold and callous and we will risk losing our humanity/spirituality should we willingly follow this path set for us by "The Powers That Be".

There are many variations of the following quote by well known authors and leaders--both political and spiritual.
"A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members." ~ Mahatma Ghandi. 

Our greatness as a nation now faces one of the most serious challenges of its existence. Let us pray that we can meet it and overcome it.
