If what Obama and his Democrats are saying about the Death Panels is true ?

If it is true and in the bill , then why hasn't one of them had enough sense to pick it up and read the entire section to the people so it can be discussed rationally ?

Could it be that the Democrats have not even read the 1,000 + pages and have no idea what is in it ?

    The answer is simple. There are 5 versions of a health care bill working its way through Congress. However, the House version commonly referred to isn't written in plain English. It's a legal document and is written in "legalese".

    Here's a question for you: if the "Death Panels" part of the bill actually exists, why don't people like Sarah Palin read you the applicable part? It's because it doesn't exist. More importantly, have a look at the link below. It shows then Gov.Palin had a "Healthcare Decisions Day" last year for people to discuss the exact same things that are in the bill.

    I'm sure that many of them have already read it.

    But there is no one bill. HR3200 is only 1 version but it's online. The House-Senate Conference Committee(s) will add even more amendments and make deletions until they can get it "out of committee" so it can go to the Senate for debate and voting.

    You think you've seen horse-trading up to THIS point? Well, now the Jack Daniels will be flowing, the backs are about to be getting slapped, the favors called in, the arms twisted, boots-to-the-butt, etc. And the claws and daggers might even be getting a sharpening as we speak. Did I mention the millions of dollars getting stuffed into envelopes, a million-or-so at a time?

    Well first of all, of course it's true. And really, anyone who would believe that was in there is too dumb to live.

    But the president knows what's in the bill, and so do the members of the House. Perhaps they were planning to read this section until they were totally drowned out by the paid provocateurs acting on behalf of the insurance company lobbyists. We'll never know, will we?

    That's why drowning out a town hall meeting is un-American.

    Obama Care would not come to a selection who shall stay and who shall die. The coverage firms do no longer come to a selection that the two. they have the recommendations-blowing to no longer settle for a member in the event that they understand the guy has extreme ailment.I had a buddy who died with the aid of fact he had a liver difficulty. they had to accomplish a liver transplant, yet they did no longer. that they had many requests for liver transplants and few donors. they had to choose.no longer Obama, no longer coverage co.

    This is why the President is wasting his time, trying to explain anything to you obstructionists. The so-called "death panels" has been discussed ad nauseum, by everyone who has any interest in trying to educate Republicans. Still, people like Sarah Palin, who is a brick short, does not get it. ..or, is just spreading lies, as usual. Have you heard the quote, "A lie can travel half way around the world, before the truth can get it's sneakers laced up." That sums it up!

    Maybe That Republicans and Fox News we're Right Along But I don't see Death Panels Happen Personally.

    Because average people don't have the necessary attention spans or legal education to understand a lengthy section of a bill, with all of the subparts, etc.

    They only latch on to words that they hear and apply their more general understanding (e.g. "End-of-life-counseling" = "recommended euthanasia")

    Besides, it's very difficult to prove the non-existence of something. For example, how would you prove to me that you never (even under a separate account) posted a YA message implying that Ronald Reagan was gay?

    Death panels are unconstitutional.

    But if the government decides to run healthcare, EVERYONE has the RIGHT to ANY TREATMENT they want. We have a RIGHT TO LIFE.

    So either expect it to be unconstitutional, or expect it to cost trillions to meet the requirements of Life, Liberty, and Happiness.
