He wants the VAT also I like this take on it...
The man comes out for Death Panels and a Value Aadded Tax (which presumably will also apply to the additional coffins).
He called for this on ABC’s This Week with Christiane Amanpour and then attempted to soft pedal the Death Panels remark, but he means it:
...health care costs will have to be controlled, which will surely require having Medicare and Medicaid decide what they’re willing to pay for — not really death panels, of course, but consideration of medical effectiveness and, at some point, how much we’re willing to spend for extreme care...Now, you may declare that this is politically impossible. But medical costs must be controlled somehow, or nothing works.
It should be pointed out that this is coming from a guy that thinks the Fed isn’t printing enough money and wants inflation in addition to Death Panels and the VAT. Is this guy on a secret Committee to Destroy America, or what?

Show of hands from those who didn’t see this coming...
It is not a secret
