In a Friday op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, Sarah Palin takes aim at a bipartisan commission's recent recommendations on reducing the deficit, calling its suggestions "a disappointment" and claiming that the plan "implicitly endorses the use of 'death panel'-like rationing." Palin lambastes the panel's consideration of the health care law in its examination, and warns that, "not only does it leave ObamaCare intact," but "its proposals would lead to a public option being introduced by the backdoor."

Palin's WSJ article this article is referring to:

Palin: Why I Support the Ryan Roadmap. Let's not settle for the big-government status quo, which is what the president's deficit commission offers.

" ...the commission's proposals institutionalize the current administration's new big spending commitments, including ObamaCare...

It also implicitly endorses the use of "death panel" - like rationing by way of the new Independent Payments Advisory Board - making bureaucrats, not medical professionals, the ultimate arbiters of what types of treatment will (and especially will not) be reimbursed under Medicare. "

Forcing good folks into a position wherein they have an unshakable belief that they have nothing to lose, is a very, very dangerous thing to do.
