Don't believe me, don't believe conservatives, believe what they say themselves!
You think the democrat/communists don’t believe in death panels? Well think again! Here is Obama advisor, and former Clinton administration’s Secretary of Labor, Robert B. Reich talking about how he and the democrat/communists would handle things under Obamacare!
“We’re going to have to, if you’re very old, we’re not going to give you all that technology and all those drugs for the last couple of years of your life to keep you maybe going for another couple of months. It’s too expensive…so we’re going to let you die.” - Robert B. Reich
Anyone who is trying to fool themselves into believing this isn’t the mainstream thought in the democrat/communist party needs to wake up and smell the death panels!

Sarah Palin is right!

Hey Bobby let a member of a family be near your bedside when you are about to kick-off. Then they can send you straight to hell will your belong you malignant dwarf.

I can’t help but think that there are many folks, perhaps millions, that are thinking, “God help him and anyone responsible if any of that un-American nonsense should it happen to one of my family members.”
People that play with fire will eventually get burned.
or if you refuse to kow tow to libtards
This would be a VERY SLIPPERY SLOPE!!! No 0bama Death Panel is going to decide if I live or die!!!!
Some years ago, a good friend of mine went in for his annual checkup and they found a cancerous tumor. After considering all the options carefully, he decided to let nature take his course. He was a man of means and had good medical insurance, but he made an informed decision that the last few months of his life would be more valuable spending it with his family and with all his facilities intact rather than subject himself to the rigors of chemo. He lived only three months after that diagnosis but had a wonderful three months with his family and friends, never once allowing any of them to express sympathy for his terminal disease.
Another dear friend, who is not a man of means, has gone through repeated rounds of chemo at one of the nation's top cancer clinics. It has gone into remission, only to return months later. He still has kids to raise and his wife and family are with him to continue whatever treatments are available for whatever time he has left.
The point is that two very different and two very good men are making totally opposite decisions for different reasons.
And whether or not, as a friend, I approve of their decisions is not relevant because it is a decision for them, their families and their doctors. It is not a decision which I aspire to make as their friend and it is certainly not a decision for some government bureaucrat to make who knows far less about these men, their families and their circumstances than I do as a close friend.
Who knos more about running Death Panels than a Reich?
I nominate that for QUOTE OF THE DAY!!
so is this part of the same crowd that says you are “very rich” if you make more than $60k or so? after all that is around the amount many tax breaks start phasing out unless you are married.
That’s so baaaaaaad! It’s good.
You sound like a good Friend.
My Best Friend recently passed away.
He was a Viet Nam Vet and his cancer was Service related.
His Doctor managed to keep him alive for Fifteen years after Diagnosis.
Five different types of treatment were use over the years.
We had lots of good times, even the last few years.
Stevie was Very Competitive and felt he had beaten the odds and outlasted his original prognosis by years.
My own Dad was diagnosed with a rare bone marrow disease in 1977 and lived a very productive life until just about two months before he died in 2002.
He probably picked up the disease due to repeated exposure from the Atomic testing which went on in the late 1950's and early 1960's in the area where he worked. But a whole lot happened like family weddings, grandchildren and even another nine years of working and paying taxes after he was diagnosed with the disease.
We don't need little Eichmanns like Reich deciding what Stevie's, my father's or anybody else's lives are worth.
Of course, these same libtards want to keep convicted murderers on death row forever on the taxpayer's dime even if we could guarantee a 100% pain free execution. For some strange reason that cost never figures into their equation.
