Wow. I can't believe anyone with an ounce of commonsense would allow a group of government employees decide that your own life isn't worth living. How long will it be before the death panels decide that not only will they allow tax dollars to be spent to prolong a life suffering from an aggressive cancer but that the cost/benefit analysis means that people with MS are killed early in life because of what it would cost to keep them alive. That a mandate to kill Downs kids in the womb will be enacted because they are useless in life and are not worth the money spent to keep them alive?

The problem with the death panels is not that some faceless burrocrat will decide your fate but that the list of ailments and conditions that result in refused treatment will grow and grow.

To save money they won't cutback on expenses with ObamaCare, they will just grow the list of ailments and conditions get rid of more people so they won't have to treat them.

I had a similar situation some years ago when my doctor gave a prescription for a severe health problem at the time. This was with a health plan. The plan sent the prescription to some pharmaceutical screener in Texas who denied me the prescription by reason it was not on the screeners formulary list. I challenged that clerks decision and ended up paying extra. I do not want some affirmative action person deciding my needs and dropped the plan.

Where have we seen exactly that sort of thinking before? Hmmmm....
