Who Said There were No Death Panels?

Obama did, and again he lied to the public. there are "Death Panels as we speak deciding which "populations" deserve treatment and limited health resources and who does not. The decisions are being made quietly and without public input; but they are being made and through regulation given the force of law. Sheri Fink, writing for propublica, has discovered that State and Federal officials are planning guidelines for removing life support from patients regardless of the patient's permission or desire in a pandemic situation. The justification for ignoring SOME patient wishes and medical needs is based on limited resources. http://www.propublica.org/article/flu-nightmare-officials-ponder-disconnecting-ventilators-from-some-pat-923. This should be a wake up call to all Americans about the underlying evilness of Obama's health care.

This is the biggest lie of all. Sarah Palin was right. If nothing is done to stop this health care then kiss granny goodbye.

I believe there was also something regarding death panels pushed through on a stimulus bill.

Freepers? More info?

I had this argument with someone. How come the Government said they removed the “death panels” from the bill? If it was not there why did they remove it? I can’t find the link...

Try the following article:

“’Death panel’ is not in the bill... it already exists”

Hope this helps!

"Commission on Research in Comparative Effectiveness" is the name of the panel, I believe. Close to it, anyway. It will start out with a figleaf of studying "cost-effectiveness" of treatments, but will readily evolve into a policy-making body designed to guide the rationing of care, which means scarcity, which means some will live and some will go.

I wonder if people can buy their own ventilators, etc?
