Actually, as it appears to me, she is the death panel.

She is the decider of life and death over the child of another.

She is Obama’s grim reaper.

This is the type of control Obamacare has given the us government over its citizens, and that is total control.

Nobody’s spelling out the story here; it seems that the more crying the story, whether in a conservative medium or a liberal one, the vaguer its details get. How the bloom did Sibelius get to be queen already over the medical transplant system.

How is she the death panel? She is leaving the decision up to the medical community and the standards that they set.

If she involves herself in the decision, then maybe that argument makes sense because she would be choosing one recipient over another.

Do we really want the Secretary to be making these decisions on a case by case basis with the ones with the most compelling back story being chosen the winner?

Keep in mind that the surgery for her with an adult lung is riskier than if it were going to an adult.

Lungs are a scarce resource and sometimes you have to play the percentages. It's harsh, but what would you say to the adult that would have been the recipient if the government steps in and makes the change?

>>>This is the type of control Obamacare has given the us government over its citizens, and that is total control.

But this is a policy set in place by the medical community back in 2005.
