When Mark Halperin admits it, you know it's true.

Mark Halperin: Obamacare Contains "Death Panels" | Video | RealClearPolitics

I can't wait until one of our resident LWNJ's mother or father will be subjected to a death panel decision to pull the plug and "take the pill". Will they still love obama the next morning?

Would these death panels be any different than the ones that have existed for eons already within the U.S. related to Insurance Companies denying treatment or outright cancelling your coverage upon you sustaining a serious illness?

The government is interested in young cash cows and that's the demographic they will put more resources into, naturally. More revenue.

No insurance company has EVER denied treatment to any patient, for anything, ever.

They have merely declined to pay for it.

Whereupon the hospital goes ahead and does it anyway.

So many lies, so many liberals, so little time....

yep; a bunch of lies. Now if it were like china with pay up front you would see people sitting at front of city hospitals.As far as death panel ;I don't know.its like starving americans;mostly drug and alcohol self induced starvation and most die form their own abuse of health.One could say the drug culture is a culture of death more accurately.

Don't you think when you sign up for any plan whether its private or public there shouldn't be controls? What should be alarming is the staggering amount of money being paid for Medicare and a little less for Medicaid. Its like the government just keeps pumping money out with an endless supply. You would think Republicans would be supporting the IPAB. We spend 50 billion a year keeping Medicare recipients alive in intensive care for the last 60 days of their lives. The plug is pulled at the 60th day in many times because that's when the government stops paying.

By the way with RyanCare which almost every Republican supported you would be forced into a private insurance plan. The government would give you $500 per month and you could add your $133 to it and find out what the ACA really feels like. Do you really think Medicare recipients would be better served with RyanCare?

Isn't it interesting how glibly the liberals change from "THERE AREN'T ANY DEATH PANELS, YOU BIGOTED, MEAN-SPIRITED NEANDERTHAL!!!" ..... to "But don't you see how the Death Panels are necessary, even inevitable?"

Orwell was right about these people from the get-go.

You are 100% right. This topic will show everyone the incredible hypocrisy of the left. We've seen it in a couple posts so far from the usual barrybots who shift their talking points on a dime just as their master has ordered.

We were right about the whole thing. They were wrong. Will they admit it? Nahhhhhhh.

Even a blind squirrel catches a nut once in a while.

Still don't see how insurance company denying payment is any different from government denying payment? Oh wait, because it's a private company, it's okay. I mean, they need profits and stuff.
