For three years the left have railed against Sarah Palin, ridiculing the former Governor’s claims of Death Panels operating within the Affordable Care Act.

But Sarah has at last been vindicated. The Oregon Health Authority (OHA)–the state agency which is bringing Oregon health plans into line with ObamaCare mandates–is promoting a guideline which states that “…treatment with intent to prolong survival is not a covered service for patients who have progressive metastatic cancer and are...

There. Fixed it.

DEATH PANELS ARE NOTHING NEW IN THE HEALTH INDUSTRY. HMO’S DID IT FOR YEARS UNTIL A WHISTLE BLOWING BRAVE FEMALE DOC GOT FED UP WITH IT.

NETFLIX AND AMAZON HAVE “DEMAGED CARE” AVAILABLE. REAL EYE OPENER.

O’CARE HAD DEATH PANELS BUILT IN. IT IS THE BOTTOM LINE MONEY, PROFIT, CHRONICALLY ILL ARE EXPENDABLE. AS ARE OLD PEOPLE, THEY GET TO KEEP A LOT OF SS MONEY FOR THEM TO STEAL AND LEAVE WORTHLESS IOU’S.

Technically there has to be a limit. There is only a finite amount of money and resources, no matter who is supplying them.

[goodnesswins]

Yes....there generally is a limit...the issue, I believe, is WHO decides the limit....the individual...or the GOVERNMENT....in the past if you took gov’t money you were susceptible to their rules, but if you did NOT take the money, you could have more choices. Obama care places control over those kinds of decisions into more and more gov’t bureaucrats no matter the wishes or means of the individual or family. Sickening.

[silverleaf]

the perfect rational argument why HHS will hire a clerk who will decide whether your wife gets drugs to live another 6 months....or not

[MrB]

And that’s the whole point of socialized healthcare - to fulfill the left’s visceral dream of using the state to punish those that disagree with them.

Ping for later.

Did not say I liked it. That’s just reality. I can’t tell you how much I worry about Obamacare.

Indeed, goes along using slave population and unions as block votes.

One of the hallmarks of leftwingers is the inability to learn vicariously from other people’s experience. So naturally they reject the past. They reject their parent’s mistakes. And especially they don’t learn from the failed programs of other countries.

Observe Canada, Britain and other places with socialized medicine. Death panels, long waiting lines and shockingly poor quality of care. Studies show they don’t even wash their hands . . .

[SunkenCiv]

It’s a little thing called genocide.

Thanks Oldpuppymax.

Nothing as crass and in-the-open as that. They will deny treatment to everybody in the category.

And then grant a waiver to good democrats, upon notice from their precinct captain that they help out at election time.
