Obamacare

What’s the latest on Obama’s Health Care Program?
The people seem to have let the politicians know how they felt by the
“Town Hall Meetings”–Oh oh maybe I shouldn’t bring that up–somebody might snitch on me!
Well go ahead! It looks like we’re gonna get it anyway!
No doubt you have all watched this on T.V. –at least Fox News T.V. This little item was from Fox.

“A provision in President Obama's health care reform bill encourages "end-of- life" counseling for seniors -- sparking euthanasia fears among some of the legislation's critics and leading others to believe that the White House is looking to save money by pressuring insurers to provide less coverage to seniors.
The provision, tucked deep within the House bill, would provide Medicare coverage for an end-of-life consultation every five years, and more frequent sessions if a person is suffering a life-threatening disease.”
FOX News' Wendell Goler and FOXNews.com's Stephen Clark contributed to this report.

Just to show you I’m not too biased in my news reading I picked this up by DAVID ESPO, AP Special Correspondent.

“WASHINGTON – The nation's drugmakers stand ready to spend $150 million to help President Barack Obama overhaul health care this fall, according to numerous officials, a staggering sum that could dwarf attempts to derail his chief domestic priority.
The White House and allies in Congress are well aware of the effort by Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, a somewhat surprising political alliance, given the industry's recent history of siding with Republicans and the Democrats' disdain for special interests....
Numerous people with knowledge of PhRMA's plans said they had been told it would likely reach $150 million and perhaps $200 million. They spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to divulge details.”
