So Sarah Palin is so dumb she was right about Death Panels under Barrycare? Anyone?
Ahh. The poor unfortunates do not understand that 'viability' is going to define medical treatment.
Just stupid.

Death Panels may not be an entirely accurate term, but by any other name, Obama Care has death panels inherent in its structure.
Palin was correct and she deserves a thumbs up.
Pity the fools who deny reality.

Maybe you dont live in the real world but I do. As a head of my family and main provider, I have had to deal with "death panels" over the years fro time to time. Their names were Empire Blue Cross, Oxford and United Heath Care. My brother in law had a severe and rare cancer that his medical insurer refused to pay for the necessary treatments!!! Only by fighting the insurance company for months were we able to get the correct care.

even the term 'death panels' is a ridiculous soundbite intended to provoke the kind of knee-jerk reaction you reflect
its all political games and spin.
As far as brain-power goes, I guess Sarah P is on a par with that warmongering knumbskull George W jnr.

There are no death panels, there never were, and there will never be. Since Tennessee opted out of health care, and turned down the Medicaid, they are doing a lottery as to who gets health care because they can only fund 2,500 people. If they had accepted they would have enough money to care for 330,000. So, in a round-a-bout way, Tennessee has a death panel if your lottery number doesn't come up.

This issue really confounds Conservatives - suggesting that they are indeed as stupid as we think they are:
1) Health care has been rationed in the US for many decades. You cannot have a liver transplant whenever you want one, you cannot have your pancreas removed at your command. And, if you have health insurance, there is even tighter rationing.
2) End of life decisions are extremely important for your own health, comfort, and finances. Obamacare has a system to help YOU decide what YOU want done.
However, people who cannot understand #1 and #2 above use the term "death panel" to make it clear that they are not very smart.
