Two separate issues are being conflated in this article.

1. Withholding food and water at the end of life.
2. Government rationing of health care.

I see nothing to be gained in doing this except riling people up.

I'm not surprised at your reaction, because I'm familiar with your posting history. But maybe you didn't get the memo.

Obama’s DeathCare = Rationed Healthcare = Death Panels = American Holocaust

IMO, Never Again is happening before our very eyes.

How is government-ordered withholding of food and water, which America has in abundance, any different from government-ordered withholding of medical care, which America also has in abundance?

They’re not two separate issues. Withholding food and water is a way to kill people off to ration the health care.

Either way, it’s killing people. The only difference is whether the murders can make themselves come off as looking like the heroes or villains.

By withholding food and water and convincing everyone it’s a merciful death and quality of life, yada, yada, yada,, they can kill off the *useless eaters*. It’s a stealth way of rationing healthcare without being so blatantly obvious about it.

They’re appealing to a different reason like they’re all concerned about what the poor person is going through, and then they don’t have to pick and choose who to *ration* (read: kill off) and catch flack for death panels and rationed healthcare.

Apparently you just don't know what the hell you are talking about, so I forgive you.

“1. Withholding food and water at the end of life.”

If you were talking about Terri, she was not at the end of her life untill the food & water were withheld, resulting in her MURDER. The government at all levels let Terri down.

“2. Government rationing of health care.”

With Obamacare death panels, you will be murdered by the withholding / denial of care, be it medicine, operations, and yes food & water. If you are too old or too young you just aren't worth wasting limited health care dollars on.

These two things are almost exactly he same.
