Krugman is a far better candidate for being called “Doctor Death” than Doctor Kervorkian.

The Democrat Party is nothing more than a Death Cult.

What would really help is to let people just write their own prescriptions. Cut out the middleman. Doctor bills are a huge part of health care costs. This would reduce them greatly.

Thanks John.

We might laugh at the satire...except that I happen to believe that this is pretty much along the lines of what Obama and his henchmen are thinking.

“Right now, a huge proportion of the nation’s health spending goes to prolonging the lives of the terminally ill,” Krugman pointed out. “By instituting a government review of both patients and treatments this waste of resources can be eliminated.”

You only think this is satire. It is, in fact, prophecy.

It’s gotten to the point that satire is so real it’s no longer satire.

Increasing demand for medical care while reducing supply is a sure formula to save money. Yeah, that’s the ticket. Actually, it’s a formula for rationinga AND shoddy healthcare. But Dems don’t understand the market or the bleeding obvious.

Such a policy is beyond the pale. Since we’re all victims of a fatal disease called life, I guess they can deny medical treatment to any one of us if we don’t kowtow to their every dictum!

From The Vitamin Press

Ok I know this is satire but sadly this is exactly the sort of insanity I could see Krugman arguing. Why does anyone take this guy seriously? Has he ever been right?

“By instituting a government review of both patients and treatments this waste of resources can be eliminated.” ”

Actually, even the expense of the death panels can be easily eliminated. Tell every doctor that if he authorizes expenditures totaling more than say $1,000 per year on a terminally ill patient, he will be dropped as a service provider.

They didn’t mention Obama’s Chicago roulette. Six shells in a revolver.
