Death panels gone?

After denying that there were any so-called death panels in the healthcare bills for a week, the Obamacrats now say that they are going to drop those panels from the final Senate bill. Forgetting for the moment that this exposes the lies told by the Obamacrats, one should consider the logic of what they are now saying. According to the obamacrats, the healthcare bill will add coverage for upwards of 10 million additional people (only about 20% of the uninsured- no big deal given all the fuss). with all these millions of additional patients, however, there will be an overall reduction in services since there are to be savings of over one half trillion dollars taken out of the current system. While some of the savings will be achieved by ending waste and fraud according to the latest talking points of the Obamacrats, a big chunk of these "savings" will simply come from reducing overall services. So-- we will have 10 million more patients, but the total amount of health care for society will be reduced by half a trillion dollars. That means that some people will have to do without proper services. And we all know who is going to make the decision as to who will bear this burden -- the government.

There is no question that the current healthcare plan of the Obamacrats really does come down to what Obama calls "pulling the plug on Grandma." Remember that Obama himself said a few months ago that maybe it would be better if the elderly "just took the pain pill" (and waited to die). It is not surprising that a party that has no problem supporting, and indeed applauding, those who kill the unborn would also support the next logical step -- the killing of the old and infirm. I cannot and will not believe that the American people will support camoflaged government euthanasia. If the Obamacrats keep up this position, I fully expect them to destroy their future as a party as completely as they did when they supported continuing slavery in the years prior to the Civil War. After that, they lost the White House for over 30 years and only held it for 8 years out of the next 52. Somehow, being the party of death does not play well with free people.
