Several weeks ago the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia sponsored a debate–more a discussion–between me and Thaddeus Mason Pope about end of life care under the Affordable Care Act. He supports medical futility. I oppose it. We went from there.
I began my presentation with the quote in the headline above–asserting that Palin’s term “death panels” may have put a spear through the heart of Obamacare.
I then said:
People are afraid of centralized bureaucrats dictating whether Craig’s [the moderator’s terminally ill babies) children can have medical care, whether my 96-year-old mother can have medical care, whether people with disabilities can have medical care…If you start looking at a quality of life ethic instead of an equality of life ethic, you’ve broken the back of Hippocratic medical values…
I worry you are deprofessionalizing medicine, turning it into a technocratic endeavor. I don’t think that’s good for the country. I don’t think that’s good for the medical system. And I don’t think that’s good for patients.
It was a good and thorough discussion, during which we disagreed and agreed about differing aspects of medical futility, health care rationing, and Obamacare. If you are interested, here is the link to the Youtube video.
I hope you will take the time to tune in, because your life and that of those you love are materially impacted by these issues.

Shop Assistant: Is this some kind of bust?
Drebin: Well, it’s very impressive, yes, but we need to ask you a few questions
WHAT?
Wrong.
Sarah was right about zero — everything she warned us about him.
She was right about zerocare and calling them out on death panels.
She was right about Russia/Putin.
That’s three recent major things right there, and Sarah was right about them all. Who else was right and not afraid to say it out loud?
No wonder they want to shut her up.
Just another reason, one of many many reasons, to love Sarah Palin!
Mrs. Palin used to be broke but not flat busted.
;-)
Todd Palin is one of the luckiest people on earth.
What a wonderful legacy - I’ll keep my fingers crossed...
Well, whatever.
If Palin kills Obamney Care I say good shooting girl!
Is there anything Sarah cannot do? Sheesh, talk about living rent-free in the “mind” of libs!
Well, the lady does know how to take down big game. She duly warned us. Too many chose not to listen.
They chose poorly.
Feather in Sarah’s cap.
...she SCORES!
Only Gov Palin can save this country and the free world
