The link proves the point - state-run HC is not working in most cases - now, apply that to a huge, new, massive government bureaucracy - why would you think the federal government can implement and maintain/service a population efficiently while keeping costs down?
Based on ALL examples of "government" run HC, each and every one is a miserable failure.
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.
Between 2012 and 2030, 74 million baby boomers will retire, cease to be the major contributors to Medicare and become the major drain on Medicare. How long will an overtaxed labor force in a de-Christianized America be wiling to pay the bill to keep all those aging boomers alive?
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.
Sarah and the Death Panels sounds like a cool name for a band.
I thought the same thing when I read the thread title.
