When Palin made her death panels post, her justification was that the combination of mandatory end of life counseling plus the creation of a health choices commissioner who unilaterally decides who will get what benefits equals a death panel, as in some sort of body that will decide that people are not worth caring for and must be abandoned by the system.
So when the author bashes Palin by saying there’s nothing in the part about mandatory end of life care that establishes a death panel, and then goes on to say that governments make things up, he misses the freakin’ point, to put it charitably. They don’t have to make anything up, because it’s already in the damn bill.
