KEEPING UP WITH THE CHANGES – AT 9:41 A.M. ET:  We inform you that the great medical vision of Dr. Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. has once again been revised.  Only superior intellects could do this.  From Fox: 

The Obama administration says it's pulling the plug on proposed changes to the Medicare prescription program that ran into strong opposition on Capitol Hill.

Among other changes, the regulation proposed to remove three classes of drugs from a special protected list that guarantees seniors access to a wide selection of critical medications.

The three classes of drugs facing removal were antidepressants, antipsychotics and drugs that suppress the immune system to prevent rejection of a transplanted organ.

Oh, who needs those?  You wanna live forever?

The administration hoped to save a total of $729 million by 2019 with the change. But patient groups including the National Kidney Foundation and the National Alliance on Mental Illness pushed back hard.

Medicare administrator Marilyn Tavenner said Monday in a letter to Congress that the administration will not move forward with the changes.

COMMENT:  What strikes us is the cynicism and coldness.  The Obamans told us they wanted to improve the health-care system, save lives, improve the national health.  But these Medicare proposals were outrageous, denying vital drugs to senior citizens. 

Oh no, there are no death committees in Obamacare.  Sarah Palin is crazy.

No, she really isn't.
