The feds have never, ever proven they can do such a thing.
You fail to note the hyprocrisy in what Palin wrote and what is and was going on in her own state when she was the Governor.

The common thread in the suits is that seniors and disabled Alaskans aren't getting the services they are entitled to, under the law, Davis said. In one big win, the state Supreme Court ruled last year that the state had improperly cut off or reduced services to more than 1,000 needy people.

Governor Palin writes: “And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled.”

The situation is so bad the federal government has forbidden the state to sign up new people until the state makes necessary improvements. No other state in the nation is under such a moratorium, according to a spokeswoman for the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

Has she told John McCain about the death panels? He is over the age requirement.

Rationed care is coming, and the death panels will not be far behind.

More hyperbole from the woman who thinks Foreign Policy is seeing Russia from her home, and is incapable of forming a comprehensible sentence. Palin = fear, divisiveness, ignorance, uninformed, unqualified, non-substantive BS. Yep, the same woman who does not know the role of VP as defined by the Constitution is now inciting fear about "death panels." What Moosecrap!!!!

Like Jon Stewart said the other night: we already have death panels... they're called Insurance Companies!!!

The original stroy was written by Pat Buchanan about Sarah Palin.... does anything else need be said? Like a scene from dumb and dumber. The OP seems to want to inject religion in a manor that isnt even substantiated. From one end to the other this is a worthless post not based on any facts but fear.
