“Death Panel” Three Years Later

Sarah Palin speech SC “Death Panel” Three Years Later

As we wait for the impending Supreme Court decision on Obamacare, I reiterate what I wrote in my first post on this topic nearly three years ago. I stand by everything I wrote in that warning to my fellow Americans because what was true then is true now, and it will remain true as we hear what the Supreme Court has to say.

It was a pretty long post, but a lot of people seem to have only read two words of it: “death panel.” Though I was called a liar for calling it like it is, many of these accusers finally saw that Obamacare did in fact create a panel of faceless bureaucrats who have the power to make life and death decisions about health care funding. It’s called the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), and its purpose all along has been to “keep costs down” by actually denying care via price controls and typically inefficient bureaucracy. This subjective rationing of care is what I was writing about in that first post:

The Democrats promise that a government health care system will reduce the cost of health care, but as the economist Thomas Sowell has pointed out, government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost. And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s “death panel” so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their “level of productivity in society,” whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.

    Yo Sarah…EVERY THING about this regime is EVIL…..and you know what? The Supremes will rule in favor of it, and all will be lost unless we get a real president who will toss out everything he has done. Romney won't because he is a plastic man who crammed it down the throats of the people of Mass.
    No, we had better rise up and tell the RNC that WE don't want Romney!!! Join up with the delegates and make them let us have a real election, let US vote! And then, let's get them ALL out!.

    Everything that has been said about obamacare is true.
    You can deny it. You can ignore it. You can pretend it's not real.
    Doesn't change the fact it's true.

    Marxism is slowly creeping into America. Take a moment and go read about it if you're not sure what it is. Then come and say what you see as Marxism in America.

    In the last years I have lost faith in the Supreme Court even though we do have some loyal justices, still. I believe they did their best to forestall the decision that was handed out. I am very disappointed but not surprised at how it turned out but I am very surprised at the the final betrayer I did not think that Roberts would be the one to do us in..
