Life prolonging cancer drugs to be banned because they cost too much.(Socialized Healthcare)

Thousands of patients with terminal cancer were dealt a blow last night after a decision was made to deny them life prolonging drugs.

The Government’s rationing body said two drugs for advanced breast cancer and a rare form of stomach cancer were too expensive for the NHS.

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence is expected to confirm guidance in the next few weeks that will effectively ban their use.

The move comes despite a pledge by Nice to be more flexible in giving life-extending drugs to terminally-ill cancer patients after a public outcry last year over ‘death sentence’ decisions. L
eading campaigners last night said Nice had failed the ‘acid test’ of whether it really intended to give new priority to people with just a few months to live.

After reading that, do you still want the government to decide what treatment you get? About 10 years ago my insurance paid out over 100 thousand dollars to keep me alive and so you know how I feel about socialized healthcare! I don’t want the government to have any say over myself and my family doctor!

Obama’s Distinguished Board Really Tainted

Obama’s coveted economic advisory board of “distinguished citizens” features rich donors, a corrupt labor official embroiled in a money laundering scheme during the Clinton Administration and a millionaire whose bank folded after victimizing borrowers with subprime loans.

It turns out that the majority of the “distinguished citizens” are indeed dignified Democratic Party donors who gave or raised nearly $1.2 million for Obama’s presidential campaign.

Among them is Chicago millionaire Penny Pritzker, best known as the “Subprime Queen,” for heading a bank that crashed after issuing too many predatory loans at teaser rates. Read More

Chicago millionaire Penny Pritzker, I knew that name would pop up again!

Barack and Michelle Obama Are Despot Wannabe’s

Rev. Lainie Dowell: I came from a long line of strong, black women and loving men. My female ancestors were beautiful, quiet, sweet, Godly, wonderful, and strong.

Now I will tell you what my late grandmother said about “mess.” She said, “I don’t mind you (messing) on me; but when you rub my nose in it, you (sic) done gone too far!!”

The question I have is “Why do our government leadership and the clergy continue to go along with Barack Obama and the Democratic Party as if they were, themselves, helpless to avert this ongoing train wreck from crashing all over America? Just because Obama is full of himself and has believed his own press releases too much does not mean that we have to humor him in his folly.

It is not altogether unknown that charismatic leaders come along with a gift of gab (written down and judiciously studied speeches delivered for a sinister purpose) and they cajole a reasonably sane nation into believing and accepting their up front scams while they are being robbed blind from behind.
