Remember when the Republicans were talking about "death panels" during the national health care debate last year? That seems to be the message of what the Ohio Health Care Association is depicting in their new television advertisements that have been popping up around the dial in response to gutting skilled nursing care, aka nursing homes, by $470 Million dollars. The scary thing about it though, is if the cuts do come, not only jobs will be lost but likely lives as well as senior citizens will need to find new options for long-term health care. With the loss in funding, facilities such as Metro Health Center for Skilled Nursing Facility here in Cleveland would either close or services down to a bare minimum level. Laughably, Kasich says he is being bullied by the group telling the Plain Dealer: If there is someone who knows a thing or two about bullying, it is Kasich himself who famously said following his election. 
"For them to get their way would continue a precedent of bullying, intimidation and the power of special interests in our state."
"We need you on the bus, and if you're not on the bus, we will run over you with the bus. And I'm not kidding.".

Maybe the taxpayers can get some of their money back and save for their own retirement instead of someone elses. Maybe the taxpayers will be able to take their kids on a vacation. Maybe that will have to pay less taxes giving them the opportunity to send their kids to college. Maybe if they spend less people will have more money in their pocket to buy granny a mobile wheel chair. The possibilities are endless. I'm excited.
Or maybe the taxpayers will have to choose between college for the kids and care for grandma.
With more of their own money in their pocket they will have a better chance. They wont have to feel guilty about taking stolen money.
You'd better buy some good insurance to cover nursing home care now or have a whole lot of money in your pocket. They wont have to feel guilty about taking stolen money. There isn't much of a government to steal your money in Somalia.
Living in a nursing home isn't a right. It isn't right to steal from someone elses hard work to give it to someone else. Even if it would make their life easier. Stealing is stealing. You liberals have so many programs that you want to fund. Well the working people are sick of paying their money and not being able to afford things to pay for your collective pipe dream.
When you have people play by the rules, work hard all their lives with all the sacrifices like paying taxes and raising their kids get old and sick enough to see all their savings and possessions stripped away for basic care they need medically or their day to day life, making them die on the streets isn't fair, humane, or just.
The world ran quite a lot better before the progressive/liberal/commies came around and made all these promises to steal from productive individuals. Collectivism is a mental disorder.
Well it is sure strange how Europe and other places take care of their old and young efficiency, economically and humanely, but somehow we can't. And it is strange to see someone who allegedly is so pro life and focused on abortion not seem to understand that unless you protect people as they get older or gravely ill too, your pro life words are very empty to behold.
Lets get this straight. I'm anti murder. Murderers should be killed. Hope that makes it clear. The government is no substitute for family and friends.

No, after the baby is born, you don't give a rip what happens to that person. In oh so many ways you don't have a clue what it means to be pro life.
