Interesting how she makes a statement on Facebook and every news outlet and pundit including president has to mention it... that denotes power to me.

Section 1233, however, lets doctors initiate the chat and gives them an incentive -- money -- to do so. Indeed, that’s an incentive to insist.

Exactly right. Sarah Palin understands and analyzes this issue better than any other Republican, and far far better than any Democrat, particularly the President.

Well written and reasoned article, backed up with excellent citations.

What really scares me is that, although the current bill may be benign, every government program, without exception, rapidly grows out of control. Though counseling may be optional in 2013, you just know in your heart that the cost savings will not meet targets and the counseling will then become mandatory. Then the age will creep down to 65, 60 and 55. Then when cost targets are still not met, mandatory rationing for the useless eaters will be instituted. It's the way and the history of post WW II Washington DC.

As was so eloquently written only a few years back when a great many people rallied for freedom and liberty, "He has...sent hither swarms of new officers to harass our people and eat out their substance." Truer words cannot be spoken about the US at the beginning of the 21st century.

Palin’s response is both very detailed and devastating. It looks like she is indeed doubling down on this—as she certainly should do.

I’m living vicariously through Sarah.

I keep picturing in my mind that scene at the end of ‘Animal House’ where Mayor Carmine De Pasto is giving his speech with Faber College’s Dean Vernon Wormer on the stage. Sarah (making her own rules) is the Delta fraternity, and soon, is going to be a one-lady wrecking crew for Obama.

As I’ve said before, I used to work as a reporter at the Frontiersman, the newspaper serving the Mat-Su Valley, which includes Wasilla. Those of us who knew Sarah Palin in her early years understand that she is smart, savvy, and shrewd. This kind of organized, pointed response sends fear down the spines of the Obama cabal.

We’ll need someone like this to clean up the mess made by the protofascistii of the American left.

Sarah Palin said it..."death panels". The Washington intelligentsia laughed at how "stupid" and "over the top" she was.

Then Obama & Co. spent an ENTIRE WEEK on the defensive over "death panels" and it is still building in the public consciousness. The ENTIRE NATION is talking about "death panels". Can you recall a memorable sentence on health care from either Mitt or Huckabee in the past 6 months?

When will Republicans realize that this woman is the real deal?

Yup.
Zero knows exactly where his biggest threat comes from.
Another thing, 'Cuda is careful to quote mainly Democrats, who actually back 0bama, to refute 0bama’s own assertions. Very clever.
The next few days is going to be fun. 'Cuda is playing the 0bamacrats like a fiddle.

Several days ago there was an article posted saying she may want to do a Perot-type commercial. But, can you imagine how many Youtube hits she would get if she did post a video where she goes over the various parts of the House bill. It would go viral!

Sarah comes across clear as a bell. While a bitter 1% of conservatives will keep denouncing her as a “quitter,” she appears destined for greatness.

Go Bear Lady Go!

the continuum of end-of-life services and supports available, including palliative care . . . minimal end-of-life care . . . "the goal is to reduce end-of-life spending." . . . It is egregious to consider that any senior citizen ... should be placed in a situation where he or she would feel pressured to save the government money by dying a little sooner than he or she otherwise would

It seems palliative care in lieu of curative care is never, or at least rarely, mentioned.

That is the death in Death Panel.

Combine palliative care with rationing and you got euthanasia lite. IMO.

It don't make a lick of sense that ex-Gov. Palin talks about it vis-à-vis Death Panels and virtually everyone ignores it!

.. and regarding pressured to save the government money by dying a little sooner than he or she otherwise would should not be mentioned without Democrat Richard Lamm's famous counsel, seriously ill old people have a duty to die and get out of the way.

And Obama’s most talked about byte from his campaign rally posing as a town hall meeting was to use the Post Office as an example of government efficiency in generating competition. Way to close the deal with the American people.
