Yep, turns out everything Sarah said in her statement was 100 percent accurate. Too bad the jackasses who call her crazy don’t read the damn bill, they would see it all for themselves

It is equal to government administered abortion for the elderly and infirm.

How many deaths more? A govt that already encourages the death of more than a million babies aborted every year.

Imagine how many elderly to be killed off too?

The people running the show today are PURE, 100% AMORAL EVIL!

They have zero moral compass. This isn’t crackpot stuff to say that these people are Satan’s tools to the max! Everything they touch has DEATH associated with it! Physical death, economic death, moral/spiritual death. Fight these ghouls to the death!

Johnny Isakson is the face of the Republican Party today. If anybody wonders how a 0 like Obama got elected, all you have to do is consider the alternative.

I've not read where ex-Gov. Palin describes any part of Obama care as "death panels" so I do not know what she means but IMO..

There's scant mention of Section 1233 vis-a-vis palliative care. I have no idea why it's apparently being overlooked even in FR. Google news got 29 hits on, section 1233 palliative. There was a tiny number of hits in the state controlled media (SCaM).

"Under the proposal, all senior citizens receiving government medical care would be required to undergo these counseling sessions every five years. Further reading of the law reveals that these sessions are nothing more than a not-so-veiled attempt to convince the elderly to forego treatment. HR 3200 calls outright for these compulsory consultations to recommend "palliative care and hospice." These are typically administered in the place of treatment intended to prolong life, and instead focus on pain relief until death. These are, of course, reasonable and beneficial options for terminally ill patients and their families."

But for those who are not terminally ill.. maybe "just" seriously ill is this Democrat Richard Lamm's "seriously ill old people have a duty to die and get out of the way?"

With rationing, and encouragement to forego curative treatment, this is euthanasia lite. IMO.

I think Ezekiel Emmanuel has already accepted that position.

Goddamit Johnny, get a friggin’ clue. And that’s as nice as I can put it.

Read this IBD editorial while you’re at it.

Georgians should throw his ass out in a primary. Government has no damn place in “end of life decisions”. Period.

"There might not be a "death panel," as Sarah Palin described it, but federal bureaucrats will be making end-of-life decisions."IBD

For the life of me I can't figure out what the difference is.

I’m calling Isakson’s people tomorrow and suggesting they read that, and watch this:

The Media, The Left and GOP Elitists vs. Sarah Palin: A Lesson on How to Destroy a Leader

Bill Whittle has more intelligence in his right pinky than the alphabet network’s anchors have in their collective brainpans.

But the dumb a** is still advocating government run health care. That is what we have to make these people understand. We don’t want any version of this crap. Any version will end up with all these provisions in it.

I'm sick of both him and his RINO twin. They've both got to go.
