“If some chick in an igloo didn’t have a laptop, they’d be killing granny”

I just love Tammy Bruce.  She is a real hoot and doesn’t mince words.  The above quote is Bruce referring to Sarah Palin’s two facebook blogs that resulted in the Senate Finance Committee removing the end-of-life counseling sections from the Obama Death Care bill.  And, this is after they all said there was no such thing in the bill. Huh? They removed something that didn’t exist in the first place?

You can see the Tammy video rant below.

 

In the  meantime, Palin isn’t done yet.  She has a new facebook posting that clarifies that the rationing of health care is also the responsibility of the Death Panel; she also offers an alternative plan.

I join millions of Americans in expressing appreciation for the Senate Finance Committee’s decision to remove the provision in the pending health care bill that authorizes end-of-life consultations (Section 1233 of HR 3200). It’s gratifying that the voice of the people is getting through to Congress; however, that provision was not the only disturbing detail in this legislation; it was just one of the more obvious ones.

As I noted in my statement last week, nationalized health care inevitably leads to rationing. There is simply no way to cover everyone and hold down the costs at the same time. The rationing system proposed by one of President Obama’s key health care advisors is particularly disturbing. I’m speaking of the “Complete Lives System” advocated by Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of the president’s chief of staff. President Obama has not yet stated any opposition to the “Complete Lives System,” a system which, if enacted, would refuse to allocate medical resources to the elderly, the infirm, and the disabled who have less economic potential. [1] Why the silence from the president on this aspect of his nationalization of health care? Does he agree with the “Complete Lives System”? If not, then why is Dr. Emanuel his policy advisor? What is he advising the president on? I just learned that Dr. Emanuel is now distancing himself from his own work and claiming that his “thinking has evolved” on the question of rationing care to benefit the strong and deny the weak. [2] How convenient that he disavowed his own work only after the nature of his scholarship was revealed to the public at large.

Our senior citizens are right to be wary of this health care bill. Medical care at the end of life accounts for 80 percent of all health care. When care is rationed, that is naturally where the cuts will be felt first. The “end-of-life” consultations authorized in Section 1233 of HR 3200 were an obvious and heavy handed attempt at pressuring people to reduce the financial burden on the system by minimizing their own care. Worst still, it actually provided a financial incentive to doctors to initiate these consultations. People are right to point out that such a provision doesn’t sound “purely voluntary.”

You go Sarah!  The power of a determined woman is insurmountable.

ps: In the meantime, AARP is spending its membership money running ads on tv and radio in support of the death care bill.  I sure am glad I no longer belong to that fraud, sell-out organization.  I think it's time for them to go to a death counseling session because their continued existence as a representative of the elderly is about to end. Time for the baby  boomers to start something new.
