health care for 9/11 responders

I've been thinking about Senator Tom Coburn's anti-health-care for the 9/11 first responders. It just seems so typical of our current day Republican's, and their "fellow travelers" - the neo-libs like President Obama.

Then ---- well:

I think EVERYONE should have government provided health care. Even if not used by the well-to-do it’s still much better than NOTHING.

Every so often, when I see the insane “austerity” programs being instituted around the globe, along with the attacks by our dear sweet republican’s on anything and everything that helps the poor and the middle class, I wonder — is this a not so subtle way of eliminating a whole bunch of people? Are these the first blows by our rulers to eliminate some of the non-productive old folks? Let them die early. Let them stop being a drain on resources.

I realize this is conspiracy theory — and yet …………… could this be an unconscious part of the “reasoning process” (if that’s what you call it) some of these rich conservatives use?

After all, aren’t we all here to produce FOR THEM, to SERVE THEM?
