Senate candidate Maurice Ferré said it is wrong to spend thousands of dollars to prolong the lives of the dying for a short time. WEST PALM BEACH -- Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Maurice Ferré says the United States spends an ``absurd'' amount on end-of-life care and should gradually move to a universal health system in which the government controls costs by setting prices for medical procedures and capping expenditures based on age and medical condition

Maurice “Death Panel” Ferré
Incredible...Ferre’ aka Dr. Mengele?
He should hook up with Grayson, they’d make a fine pair. Just what are they adding to the Florida water?
This is the foundational premise of leftism: that people are things. This premise is absolutely necessary in order to justify the slaughter of millions - and to enslave and impoverish the rest.
This is precisely the road down which that Marxist meat puppet of a President and his owners are taking us. History is my witness.
Why else would the modern American Left seek to 'move the goalposts' that define life? Why do they now insist upon defining the worth of your life by its utility - not to you, but to 'society'? We have the likes of Peter Singer speaking blithely of extending that 'right to choose' to children as old as 28 months! Why? Because Singer argues that at that age, well... they're not fully conscious and capable of reason!
Why else would we hear of Rahm Emanuels brother - also an 'advisor' to 0bama - advocating the assessment of the relative 'quality of life' under the aegis of his innocuous-sounding “Complete Lives” program? Emanuel’s guidelines are strictly utilitarian, and are based in part upon the notion of an individual’s ‘value to society’.
What happens when:
1. The goalposts defining the beginning and the end of life converge?
2. The decision as to who lives and who dies is eventually taken from you and passed to the state?
3. How long will it then take for those decisions to be made according to whim and politics?
Who has the courage to answer that?
There is only one way this can end.
So, what I really want to know: is Ted Williams head still going to be frozen after all this? Or will a panel be convened to thaw it out, cremate him and spread his ashes over the Keys like he wanted? ;-)
Inner Party members will be covered. Only the proles have a “duty to die quickley”.
Maurice Ferre is a long-term politician who was mayor of Miami about 30 yrs ago. He sucked then and still does.
... and by pumping the death tax up to around 55% and decreasing the exemption the government gets to more money more quickly.
I thought it was funny.

TPYOS RULE!!!!
That’s kinda sick............
Democrat death panels revisited.
Some can argue what Mo is proposing is common sense. The only problem is *WHO* will be deciding what ailments/conditions are too extreme to justify trying to save the life. And I certainly trust no DEMOCRAT to make that decision.
The jokes just write themselves......
...er...ah,
consonant...?
Let he who is without typo...
FReeping can make one hungry.
I'm just sayin'
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

This is a great idea.
Monsieur Ferré should start his own medical practice (after going to med school all those years) and charge less for patients he deems worthy.
That would be a terrific idea in a free market.
Oh, that’s right, Liberals don’t understand free markets.
what you said
You are truly living up to your FR moniker.
