Dick Morris says Obamacare officials will soon meet to begin truncating and limiting care for the elderly. To put it in simple terms, the Affordable Care Act death panels have arrived. “A heart surgery, or liver transplant or any of the important things we need to keep us alive will be rationed based on whether or not we are citizens, not on whether we contributed to Medicare with our tax money, not on whether we’re veterans who defended this country, but the number of QALYs (quality adjusted life years) we have remaining.” Tune in as Morris explains.

What does a government shutdown really mean? It’s not all it’s cranked up to be, says political pundit Dick Morris. “We really misunderstand the concept of a government shutdown. It does not shut down the government. We just call it that,” says Morris. “What it does is shut down those activities which are governed by discretionary spending that’s voted by Congress each year. The entitlements, Social Security, Medicare, veterans benefits, food stamps, welfare, disability all go on getting paid because they are not governed by the funds that Congress appropriates annually.”
