Im reading this book now. Its fascinating. Obamacare has created death panels for the aged and unfit. The author shows how we are in a totally controlled society where scanners and surveillence moniter everything we do and think.
The Christians are persecuted and targeted.

What exactly do you mean by "scanners and surveillance"?

Well, Ora,
I have just started the book. It takes place in 2042, wheneverything we do is monitered. I assume that we are then chipped. They have a plan to do away with the elderly. Medical staff get paid very little and do not care for patients very well.

Here is a blurb on the book from St Benedict's Press:

The year is 2042.

American Christians are decimated, persecuted. Most of them huddled together on a federal reservation, the rest forced to worship in secret underground communities.

The State knows all and controls all: what you eat, what you watch, how you think and pray. Tolerance is the highest virtue. Deviance is the norm; speaking out against it is a crime.

Any lifestyle choice is fine as long as it doesn't lower your federal Healthcare Score. Too low and the Health Continuity Councils or Death Panels will hold your life in their hands.

For powerful, ambitious Senator Axyl Houston, this isn't enough. He wants the Death Panels to have the power to euthanize the genetically weak and imperfect; he wants America to lead the global Unified Order in purging future generations of disease and imperfection.

Against him stands David Rudder, an escapee from the Christian reservation called the Cloistered Dominion or Dome who in the simple, merciful act of rescuing a Down's syndrome baby from termination becomes entangled in a chain of events that could lead to a revolution for the Culture of Life. Or to its final destruction.

The Death Panels is an exciting and disturbing story of a not-too-distant future in which our current political battles over life and freedom have reached an explosive crossroads, and a clarion call to all Christians and lovers of liberty.

The trailer is frightening. Emerentiana, are you able to sleep at night after reading this book? I'm afraid that if I read this book I'd be awake at night with more worries.

Yes, I agree that we do need to know what is going on and I will look for your review of the book.

I was talking to someone recently about these death panels and it was quite scarey. Maybe if I were younger I'd remember who I was talking to! I do remember that it was someone who had read many of the pages of that huge volume that is Obamacare. I forget how many pages it is but it's in the thousands, isn't it? And who in heavens name has even read all those pages? It is in those many pages that directions such as these death panels is hidden. Frightening!
