Quote:Funny seeing as there are conservatives on this board that have disagreed with this exact statement.


You can call it a death panel of you like. Sarah Palin coined that phrase not because it was accurate in any way but because it drives the fervor and fear in the base of the party. Clearly you like to repeat said rhetoric even though its factually not true at all so I guess it worked.


You know who really decided whether people got treatment or not based on cost benefit matrices? Your beloved insurance companies.

 

I actually have no love for insurance companies, they are my daily adversaries. What you don't understand is that the IAPB has the task of controlling health care costs. The most expensive care is end of life care. The easiest place to cut cost is to deny all non-palliative end of life care, ergo Death Panels. Check any of your beloved socialist states for their take on murdering the old disguised as Assisted Suicide. That's what's coming to America.
