Sarah Palin's "death panels" was too much to overcome. Small victory for everyone and we must keep up the pressure.

Even THEY admit it could have had unintended consequences. Palin was right...again.

“Finance Committee drops end-of-life provision”

Only for now.

Looks we call know the growing government - over the years rationing will all be put in by policy not a vote.

So how do they save money now? And who pays the tab for increasing the already unsustainable deficit. You cannot insure 47 million new patients, with no new doctors and save money. It simply doesn’t compute.

Another question — Does anyone actually trust their zero trade in value congressional clunker to live by what they say? What about the oath they take?

To me this is just a sop to try and get the heat off.

Bad news. Republicans taking away the most outrageous provisions of the health care bill making it more palatable and more likely to pass. Keep in mind that every single government programs gets bigger and worse over time. Republicans are apparently working on getting this passed.
All the really bad stuff will come back, will have to come back. Thanks GOP. (Note: Did not say RINO’s)
Can’t they just take a stand when we are actually winning.

Give Palin credit for this. I am not a big Palin for President supporter, but she should get credit for getting that language out of the bill.
The rest of the RNC, and GOP leaders could not do what an outsider could. (Outsider Meaning Living Outside The Beltway)

"We dropped end-of-life provisions from consideration entirely because of the way they could be misinterpreted and implemented incorrectly."

Wrong, Grassley. "Death Panels" was EXACTLY the way the Dems would have implemented them. There was no misinterpretation whatsoever.

This is a step in the right direction, but it is not the important thing. The problem is still the Health Benefits Advisory Committee. That is the “death panel.: (Some of my line numberings may be wrong, but the statements are copied right from the House bill)

SEC. 123. HEALTH BENEFITS ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
12 (a) ESTABLISHMENT.—
13 (1) IN GENERAL.—There is established a
14 private-public advisory committee which shall be a
15 panel of medical and other experts to be known as
16 the Health Benefits Advisory Committee to
17 recommend covered benefits and essential, enhanced,
18 and premium plans.

The Democrats drop a few of the outrageous parts in hope we will allow their OmamaCare bill to become law.

Don’t give in to this tactic. O-care is bad as it government take over of a significant part of the economy and intrusive as to our personal privacy/personal choice. It creates a massive bureaucracy on the scale of the British health system—which is the 3rd largest bureaucracy in the world after India’s railway and the Red Chinese Army.

Say no to the whole deal.

Sarah Palin, there is about 1000 other items in the bill you can work on while you are at it. You pick one of them a day until Congress gets back in session.

Still not satisfied. I want this ENTIRE bill to FAIL. The entire bill is full of crap. SO basically the Finance Committee is ADMITTING that there are indeed DEATH PANELS in the bill. So wait, Sarah Palin was right after all..but but, the media said she was nothing but a crazy kook. Sarah has more common sense then any of those dumb asses in Washington, but I won’t be satisfied until this bill fails in its entirety

So the provision was there before it wasn’t there and now it’s really not there...at this time.

You are exactly correct. With only two words Palin has succeeded in getting those end-of-life consultations taken out of any health care reform. The woman is brilliant. With two pointed words, Palin gained control of the argument and put the Democrats on the defensive. It got every one to focus a specific section of the bill. And with that inspection of the specific language and lively debate about its contents, it will be deleted from any final bill. She was masterful.

And yes, this is a small victory, and we must keep up the pressure. Perhaps Palin will help out again with her ability to cut through all the BS with one or two well-chosen chosen word.

So somehow this makes the bill more palatable?

Is the Senate Finance committee even in session?
