Remember Soylent Green? It was a 1973 science fiction movie set in a future, fascist, overpopulated world.
“Soylent Green” was a food product provided by the government to its starving citizens. Police detective Charlton Heston discovered that people were mysteriously disappearing and attempted to find out why. In the end, as shown in this clip, he revealed the horrible secret of Soylent Green as he was being taken away by authorities.
Is it just us or is the plotline for ObamaCare starting to sound a lot like the plotline of Soylent Green? Medicare will be cut. Medicaid will be cut. End of life care will be denied. Bodies of the elderly will begin piling up and the government will have to figure out how to get rid of them.
Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, wants doctors to look beyond the needs of their patients and consider social justice, such as whether the money could be better spent on somebody else.
Emanuel thinks doctors’ decisions on who gets care should be based on “communitarianism.” Medical care, he said in a Hastings Center Report in 1996, should be reserved for the non-disabled and kept from those “who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens … An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia.”
What’s the difference between Soylent Green and ObamaCare?
Soylent Green is people, but ObamaCare is anti-people.
