Government Death Panels Won’t Kill You – Unless You’re Sick And Weak
IBD's Capital Hill ^ | 5/26/2011 | David Hogberg

Posted on 05/26/2011 7:25:16 AM PDT by Slyscribe

ObamaCare supporters fervently believe that science will prevail in systems that are controlled by politicians. It is usually the unstated assumption behind their arguments defending the Independent Payment Advisory Board. They seem to believe it so blindly that they can’t see evidence to the contrary even when it is right in front of their noses.

Even though I believe the point of death is properly in the hands of God alone, it might be a relief to escape this devil’s planet early.

Sick or weak = will draw more in benefits than will pay in taxes in the future; votes GOP.

I've got bad news for Liberals. Science, and sound engineering, doesn't necessarily triumph with bureacrats either.

As a guy who works in DoD/IC procurement, I have watched the U.S. Government waste tens of millions of dollars to make systems less capable and/or more vulnerable in order to serve their internal political agendas or meet their own prejudices. They often don't fundamentally understand the technologies they allegedly manage.

“... who decides who is sick or weak?”

An “advisory board”. It is actually easy for them if they lack any sort of true humanity. Almost like a math equation. The cost of treatment vs. the probability that the person survives added to “how many working years are left in the person who can pay taxes”. For example, if a Down’s Syndrome baby needs a heart operation, I am sure there is a calculation based on tax output based on I.Q. Scary, frightening stuff.

IMO, any useful idiot that trusts the thugs and Kapos in this Regime and this Congress would be well advised to reread the history of Germany starting with 1933 and thereafter. History is repeating itself. Think not? The useful idiots can stupidly place their trust and lives in the hands of the likes of the Fuhrer Obama, Dingy Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Babs Boxer, self-proclaimed hero John Kerry, Plugs Joe Biden, Charlie Rangel, Airhead Maxine Waters, and the rest of the pathetic Liberal RATs sitting on their thrones.

You can be certain that the DC Royalty won’t be facing a Death Panel.

The only proper conservative answer to this question is, "Whoever can afford to pay for them."

Honestly, if they pull this on me or anyone I love and they will.

A panel of leftist elitists.

Your pre-mature baby will die as “too expensive”
so that some homo can get his “cocktail” of drugs keeping him alive to continue his perverted lifestyle.

Got something in my e-mail this AM on Thomas Jefferson - really good stuff. I have never posted on FR and I guess that would be considered a vanity, right. Do you know how to post stuff?

Just another way to reduce America’s carbon footprint according to Leftists.

True as a response.

But just go look at the positions advertised now for the Feds. Medical anything is BIG. Having already experienced state (as in at the state level)-run rationing in this family, by a noted ‘expert’ in the field, it’s already here.

The only thing left is the software to correlate your DNA with your Party and donations.
