LOS ANGELES (AP) - A group of retirees who refused to leave Sen. Dianne Feinstein's West Los Angeles office until she talked to them about health care reform has been arrested.

Los Angeles police Sergeant Rich Brunson said Thursday that at least eight people were being taken into custody and would likely be booked for trespassing and released.

Cate Engel, a spokeswoman for the group California Alliance for Retired Americans, says the activists - all between 55 and 87 years old - wanted to talk to Feinstein about strengthening Medicare and using the program as a model for health reform.

The group arrived at Feinstein's office around noon and refused to leave her conference room until their arrest more than six hours later.

A call to the office seeking comment was not answered.

My mom is in her 70's..the first of Barry's healthcare death consultants to tell her when to die and withhold care from her will end up crucified upside down on their front lawn. She pays her BC/BS every month to get top notch care. There needs to a be a final solution to the liberal problem. I'm glad this cash for clunkers is an administrative mess...great illustration of the limits of the Federal government.

Hugo -

1.  There will be by definition rationing of care for the elderly. 

2.  the bill requires a end of life interview every 5 years, as per the bill itself and Obama did not deny that. 

3.  Obama himself said that old people, rather than surgery, should take a pain pill. 

4.  "Medical Boards"  will be dictating what the docs can and cant do in these situations.

See this is the problem with all the CT shit, most of it is so rediculous that when something comes up that does have some merrit and should be investigated further. Everyone is like oh its just another CT.
