I love the title of this article, "A Non-Demagogic Disquisition on Death Panels". It sounds like it was written by a stoned Leftist".
Instead it is a serious explanation of the death panels incorporated into the Obamacare plan to save money by killing the very young and the very old, and those the Left does not like.
Who is it the Left does not like? Those who eat donuts. People who like a good (or even a bad) hamburger. People who drink more than they do, people who smoke cigars and cigarettes (but not those who used drugs or grow their own pot).
How does the Berwick-Kevorkian death panels work in the real world? Just look at Britain.
" * NHS doctors routinely conceal from patients information about innovative new therapies that the NHS doesn’t pay for, so as to not distress, upset or confuse them.
* Terminally ill patients are incorrectly classified as close to death so as to allow the withdrawal of expensive life support.
* NHS expert guidelines on the management of high cholesterol are intentionally out-of-date, putting patients at serious risk, in order to save money.
* When the government approved an innovative new treatment for elderly blindness, the NHS initially decided to reimburse for the treatment only after patients were already blind in one eye using the logic that a person blind in one eye can still see, and is therefore not that badly off.
* While most NHS patients expect to wait five months for a hip operation or knee surgery, leaving them immobile and disabled in the meantime, the actual waiting times are even worse: 11 months for hips and 12 months for knees.
* One in four Britons with cancer are denied treatment with the latest drugs proven to extend life.
* Those who seek to pay for such drugs on their own are expelled from the NHS system, for making the government look bad, and are forced to pay for the entirety of their own care for the rest of their lives.
* Britons diagnosed with cancer or heart attacks are more likely to die, and more quickly, than those of most other developed nations. Britains survival rates for these diseases are little better than [those] of former Communist countries."
We can die, earlier than we should if Obamacare is not repealed. We will die if Berwick-Kevorkian is allowed a dime of your tax money to operate.
Pass this article on. It is the best explanation of the killing fields Obama wants for America.
