Good pic. As I've said before, they better Repeal this crazy bill or we're going to lose about half our Doctors. Now this 23% Medicare cut is going to hit on December 1st. More info Here.

Don’t blame Krugman.

Death Panels and the thugs that will carry out their wishes are natural and unavoidable consequences of government health care.

The math can never work and the resultant “sacrifices” are a foregone conclusion.

Palin was right, the left was wrong. People who were genuinely intelligent and honorable would admit this. The leftists will do no such thing, and instead will hate her even more.

I think of this kind of behavior whenever I read another “We’re the reality-based party” screed by someone on the Huffington Post.

“He says he was talking about something, but “not really death panels, of course.”

He was against made-up death panels before he was for made-up death panels, but they’re made-up, so he’s still right. Or something.

The American Taxpayer will put a VAT on the politician and a Death Panel on the Politicians. Tell your politician in DC and a the state level, either put the needs of its constituent first and take a pay cut to 50,000.00 and cut their lifetime benefits or they too will face a death panel and a Value Add Tax on their jobs - term limits and 100%taxation on the money that they recive from Lobbyists. I strongly believe they will get the picture. Nancy Pelosi needs to reimburse the American people for evrything she spent foolishy on - airplane trips for family bottled water, flowers fresh every day. Enough of the caca in DC.

Next up for boomers - Soylent green!!!

LOL, I remember seeing Soylent Green in 73 when it came out and it gave me the creepy-crawlies. I still remember, "Here come the scoops!" I also remember thinking if things ever got tyrannical commie-crazy that something like that could happen. Well, . . .

I wouldn't be surprised if you get future adults believing in euthanasia after the way their grand parents and parents spent like crack addicts in the government.

Want to know how death panels would function? Just watch the TSA “screen” passengers.

This is the temp ‘doc fix’ that congress did before they ran off to get either dumped or re-elected. It just stopped the 21% cut already in effect and gave a temp increase of 2% until Dec 1.

BUT Beginning Jan 1, an additional 10% decrease starts...with another 10% in 1012, and another 10% in 2013...30% altogether on top of the 23%, if simple math is correct that’s a 53% cut...COMPLETE GUT of Medicare.

According to the WSJ there is a $8+ TRILLION gut over 20 years to Medicare.

My Doctor of 30 years got out of the business because of Obamcare. I really like him too.

Krugman made his statement in response to when discussion would take place concerning the commission's recommendations. He stated, 'Some years down the pike, we're going to get the real solution, which is going to be a combination of death panels and sale's taxes.

Does Krugman think he'll escape the death panels??

It's disgraceful that Sarah was criticized so much for mentioning death panels.

It’s serious. I encourage everyone to read more about Euro style “health care” systems. In most places they have shortages of doctors and equipment, and waiting lists like they do here in Canada. In many places like Britain they can deny you certain treatments based on age and weight. In some places, like the Netherlands, they practice euthanasia. Socialism inevitably leads to euthanasia, forced abortion and labor camps. FACT

Just a note to those so-called "elites" who may sit on MY Death Panel: When you decide that I should be terminated - I'm coming after YOU! And Hell's Coming with me!

I fully agree with that.

I take the information seriously because I know that the sources quoted in the article are valid. The writer of the article will have a hard time convincing some readers...he needs an editor.
