In 2009, Sarah Palins rant about death panels even forced elimination from the bill of a provision to offer end-of-life consultations. It's amazing how inconsequential she is.

One can be sure that their Death Panels won’t pertain to the Political Elites and their families just like other dictatorships throughout time! Big Bro and Big Sis’s Death Panels will be for We The People. Re-read your history books and pay attention to the Third Reich.

Get the Federal Government the “H” out of our business, our medical, everything other than what they were designed to do by the Founders. Problem resolved.

If health care were not a government expense then the cost os caring for non productive folks would not be a problem for the budget and total costs to the economy would be far smaller. The answer, of course, is to end ALL government participation in and regulation of medicine and insurance beyond FDA type guarantees that what what it says on a label is what is in the product. That is part of the government guarantee of weights and measures.

end-of-life consultations were not OFFERED .... they were mandatory
____ Geez, they can’t help themselves from lying even in an article that is overall trying to sort-of tell the truth.

I don’t like the idea of some government employee deciding who gets what care. But I also know that 40 years ago people weren’t taking all kinds of pills to try to stay alive. I’m not sure dieing gracefully isn’t better than trying to beat the odds. But allow the individual to make that decision.
As for death panels, they already exist, more or less. I know a woman who was sent home from the hospital the other day because Medicare says she can only stay so many days.

In a perverse sort of way he is right. If they can’t control costs by rationing and limiting options the entire system comes apart.

former Obama official says we NEED death panelsI watched parts of a PBS show last night -
Money & Medicine.
And without a doubt, that's the message I got from the show ... we need death panels.

I sure do hope I can live long enough to see Steven Rattner beg for the opportunity to make his own end of life decisions. Liberals and young folks are likely to learn the hard way that if just a little life is all you have left, it's very, very precious.

...but unless we start allocating health care resources more prudently... This is code for "making sure politicians and their families go to the head of the line."
