Obamacare kicks in (health care, death, cost, dollars)

[Little-Acorn]

Last year's turkey that was pardoned by Obama, was euthanized a few days ago after a death panel decided it was time to go.

Peace, turkey pardoned by President Obama last Thanksgiving, euthanized

Someone already beat you to a retarded thread.

[Little-Acorn]

But with not nearly as good an explanation as mine!

I sure hope I Won, You Lost never pardons me since one year doesn't sound like a lot. I do think that the death panel (15 appointed people) will do me in in the end, though.

No, that was called stating a fact.

Can someone please explain death panels and Obamacare. Thanks

A Death Panel is a sensationalized name for a group of unelected people, who get together to decide if the cost of the care you need to extend your life, is worth spending for the (possibly limited) extension of life you might get out of it.

The existence and function of these groups are specified (without the sensationalized title) in the Obamacare law passed in the United States.

So who are members of this group. Are these doctors or what

As I recall, the admin removed the death panel provision, then stuck it back in, then took it out again. All of course while claiming that it never existed.
Right Turn - Supposedly non-existent death panels removed from ObamaCare


Something like this is inevitable given the intense need to control costs, and given that already 30% of medicare dollars go to treat those in the last year of life. I think many people would do this voluntarily--I know I would--but with socialized health care that doesn't work. Nobody's going to do it voluntarily, since other peoples' money pays the bill. So it will have to be done coercively.
