Maybe we should ask Dorene Wilson…

…about death panels and government recommendations:

“If I had waited until I was 50, I would be dead,” said Dorene Wilson, a Waterford Township mother of three who was diagnosed with breast cancer Sept. 11 at age 42.

Well that’s government recommendations for you.

…when describing the government sponsored report concerning Mammograms. In addition via Glenn the Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen (we “Catholics” love Abortion) Sebelius says ignore it:

“Our policies remain unchanged,” she said of the federal government. ” Indeed, I would be very surprised if any private insurance company changed its mammography coverage decisions as a result of this action.”

I wonder why she would be surprised? The government issues “guidelines” concerning health and companies to ignore them when those guidelines can save them money? What planet does she live on?

If the health plan was passed you think the government bureaucrats that would be running the plan would be ignoring it? RedState Elaborates:

Who here thinks that an insurance company already grimly aware that they exist on governmental sufferance might feel the need to ‘change its mammography coverage decisions’ to reflect current state medical policy? Particularly if there are consequences for not being in compliance with all the laws, regulations, rulings, and opinions that bureaucracies generate more or less automatically.

And republicans congressmen have noticed too.

But Republicans are drawing parallels between the advisory panel recommendations and so-called “comparative effectiveness efforts” that would be employed under Democratic health plans to control skyrocketing costs. The idea is that panels would study different treatments would be studied to determine which are the most effective.

Panels? Hmmm what KIND of panels.

Jayden Capewell could not be reached for comment.

A: They were both considered “indispensable” men just about a year ago.

The president is now below 50% according to Quinnipiac. Looks to me they are both “indefensible” men now as .

A: That some people were not paying attention for the last 8 years.

The Story:

Former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura secretly visited Fort Hood last night and spent “considerable time” consoling those who were wounded in Thursday’s shooting spree, Fox News has learned.

The Bushes entered and departed the sprawling military facility in secret, having told the base commander they did not want press coverage of their visit, a source told Fox News.

The couple was described as “deeply concerned” about military families on Fort Hood after Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan allegedly opened fire on soldiers and civilians, killing 13 and wounding 38.

The Bushes, who have a 1,600-acre property known as Prairie Chapel Ranch less than 30 miles from Fort Hood in central Texas, spent between one and two hours visiting the wounded and their families.

The reaction from our side was not unexpected but Hillbuzz’s reaction was a revelation to them:

As we will always be grateful for what George and Laura Bush did this week, with no media attention, when they very quietly went to Ft. Hood and met personally with the families of the victims of this terrorist attack.

FOR HOURS.

The Bushes went and met privately with these families for HOURS, hugging them, holding them, comforting them

and even more impressive than the act was the contrast:

They didn’t have to head to Ft. Hood. That was not their responsibility.

The Obamas should have done that.

But didn’t.

Wouldn’t.

Thank goodness George W. is still on his watch, with wonderful Laura at his side.

You might recall that the same George W. Bush met with the families of the dead soldiers without any fanfare, the media lost interest in casualties and caskets, until the president brought an entourage of media to his “surprise” visit and of course a complaint media is trying to protect him.

Legal Insurrection puts it best:

You don’t know what you’ve got ’till it’s gone.

Quite a few of us knew, that’s why we are so disgusted now.
