The Emanuel Brothers’ threat to the lives of America’s sick, elderly, and minority youth is mercifully coming to an end.
Older brother Ezekiel Emanuel is an oncologist, a bioethicist, vice provost of the University of Pennsylvania, Democrat and a former health policy advisor to President Obama.
Rahm Emanuel is the outgoing two-term Democrat mayor of Chicago and former White House chief of staff to President Obama.
In Ezekiel Emanuel’s 2014 magazine article, Hope to Die, he articulated a long-held belief that “We should not prolong the dying process” and “The age deadline of 75-years-old forces each of us to ask whether our consumption is worth our contribution.” In other words, you sick and elderly should hurry up and die because a government run health care system can’t afford the bill if you seek whatever medical treatment is necessary to survive while being an unproductive citizen. Remember the public concerns about “death panels” during Obamacare debates? In a 2009 New York Post article, Deadly Doctors, author Betsy McCaughey rightly warned the public about these dangerous views and questioned whether society really wanted to empower people like this to make critical life and death decisions for us. While no reasonable person can argue that Ezekiel Emanuel’s health care policy preferences are even remotely equivalent to the horrible Nazi T4 Euthanasia Program, history informs us that it’s a very slippery slope. Count your blessings that Ezekiel is no longer providing health care policy advice to the most powerful man on earth.
During younger brother Rahm Emanuel’s seven-years as Chicago mayor, the city has suffered 4,114 murders and many thousands more violent crimes.
Chicago’s murder rate has been increasing significantly, compared to rates in other major cities like Los Angeles and New York.
The vast majority of Chicago’s homicide victims have been young black males.
