Default lol, conservative congress critters make a request of Mr Obama

After saying that Obamacare = DEATH PANELS the GOP congresscritters are asking the president to get the Dems to stop talking about Paul Ryan's plan to privatize Medicare.



Quote:
On Tuesday, Kinzinger and 41 of his colleagues sent a letter to President Obama, asking him to rein in Democratic attacks on GOP members who voted for the House budget, which includes a plan to privatize Medicare and cap spending on the program.

“We ask that you stand above partisanship, condemn the disingenuous attacks and work with this Congress to reform spending on entitlement programs,” the letter reads.

Does the government decide when you die (ala Osama) or does the government just stopping funding your treatment?

Which section of the law? I want to read it. I might post the text here. Or if you would do that it would be even better.

This is the same point I make when people scream about health insurance companies "denying care". They don't deny care. They deny payment for specific care. The doctor is the one denying care without payment.
