Health Care and Utilitarianism. In light of the current Health Care Bill and Health Care Debate, I found this old video on H1N1, Death Panels, etc. I know, I know, Logan’s Run had people “terminated” at 30 (not 40) (actually, it was 21 in the book), but I still make my point about the slippery slope related to utilitarian ethics and resource allocation models applied to health care and life decisions. Vote carefully dear representatives — Indeed, everything we know about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is ultimately at stake!

- Medicare Tax? Health Care for the Elderly? Let’s look at the facts about the proposed Medicare Tax … and a medical care program for the aged that already exists! What’s the hurry here? The supporters of the proposed Medicare Tax would have you believe that passage of this controversial bill is urgent … that persons over 5 are deprived of needed medical care because they can’t pay for it. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Kerr-Mills Law, passed by Congress in 1960 – enabled individual states to guarantee to every elderly person who needs help the health care he or she requires. We call this health program … Health Opportunity for the Elderly. Thousands of people every day are being helped by its generous benefits. And unlike Medicare, which would substantially increase your Social Security Tax payroll deductions, existing programs are being paid for now by a part of your present tax dollar! Medicare? NO. Health Care for the Elderly? YES! ….. 1964 American Medical Association Ad, A5157.

@jasason10 Hmm. umm… Maybe due to free will and and plus I will bet you everything that you cannot explain where humans came from and why there was a man and a women and why we came out the way were are and also why we developed higher brain functions. Please explain and slowely as us religious folk can’t understand big words
@jasason10 Huh? Are you living in the real world Jasason10? You think just because some people have a faith in a god that he will interrupt free will and save everyone. They why even die at all and not just live forever. Or even better why not smite down those unbelievers such as yourself who continue to make fun of religious people.
Sadly what people don’t realize is that someone always has to suffer. It is better to plan this out and be ready rather than have to make a possibly worse decision there.
Hey now, that video isn’t quite fair to us Utilitarians. Killing off the sick and diseased will create MUCH unhappiness. That is, unless they want to die, in which case I think they should have that right. Just my two cents.
AHHH Why do you christians care about this stuff anyway? All you have to do is prey to god and he will cure all deceases. who needs hospitals why you have JESUS !!
Yes, thanks for the emails — Logan’s Run had people “terminated” at 30 (not 40) (actually, it was 21 in the book), but I hope I still make a point about the slippery slope related to utilitarian ethics and resource allocation models applied to health care and life decisions.
Obama has yet to sign the executive order about abortion…even though he signed the health care reform. He said he’d sign it later….soooooo now what?
@havock89 yeah the whole checks and balances thing is a joke. essentially they are just puppets of satan, ie luke 4:6, ephesians 6:12, et al.
how can they be the arbiters of law, when they are lawless workers of iniquity? they are even whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear righteous, but within are full of dead men’s bones and hypocrisy. what is it, like half the congress doesnt even pay taxes or something? jokes on us.
Obama has no authority to write or ammend laws. The job of the president is to enforce laws, not create them. Congress does that.
Everyone who knows anything about law, knows that this move by obama is an outright lie, and only the irgnorant will fall for it.
Times…they are getting interesting!
@Ironhoist yeah its cool. i dont think i agree with anyone else 100% either. we just have to keep seeking the truth and we “will find.”
apparently obama signed an EO so the abortion part will be removed…but the bill is still a hellish nightmare.
i dont see how i can participate.
what will they do unto me? i cant see paying them a dime.
all i know is if you refuse the mark of the beast you will be killed/beheaded.
people are going to have to start drawing some lines.
@ Leifton
ok, fair enough. I will have to disagree with you. I see your point and understand your position and your other comments of late but still disagree.
God bless!
ok sorry, i figured it out now…if anyone has problems with the comments, click “Options” next to “Text Comments,”
and then select “Show All Comments.”
TEST TEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
whats going on with the youtube comments of late?
youtube changed something and now its not working properly….
yes it is that simple.
“Dearly beloved, AVENGE NOT YOURSELVES, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I WILL REPAY, saith the Lord.”
all killing is murder.
capital punishment is murder. killing in self-defense is murder. killing a baby or euthanising the elderly is murder. killing in wars is murder.
and hatred is murder as i said.
so we’re all pretty much guilty of murder right there. thats why people have to repent.
@Ironhoist no, i dont think we should be idle in such a situation. personally i think we should try to apprehend the assailant and restrain him.
So I should sit back and watch the wacko kill a bunch of people and do nothing but love the wacko? Because Jesus said to love thy enemy, that would make me and any love I give impotent.
Leifton, I doubt that you would sit on your hands and do nothing when a wacko is killing your family and you can do something about it.
I know, I know, BrotherAJ, Logan’s Run had people “terminated” at 30 (not 40) (actually, it was 21 in the book), but I hope I still make my point about the slippery slope related to utilitarian ethics and resource allocation models applied to health care and life decisions.
Abortion is not healthcare. In this bill abortions
would be payed for using federal tax dollars.
Another great video Randall, but in Logan’s Run the age is 30 not 40; just saying.
Now we’re going to see just how truly Black loving are the politically correct. Now we’ll all get to “wear it”, see how you’ll like the treatment of it now
Our troubles are from Godlessness. Some have endured in the south, still singing “There will be no more weeping & wailing”
Have you seen the video where the FBI guy shoots himself in the foot? Thats us! We should have all elected him for President….an appropriate representative. Hey, he’s perfect… he’s even Black
In a way, one can say we’re all Black now… since we’ve started to elect our own Marxist “slavery”
“we the people”. Thus, the companies would elect to conduct their business in a fair & ethical manner. That being the most beneficial scenario for the society of which they are a part
I know it sounds laughably unrealistic. But that’s simply because it is indeed true that “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other”
