    Michelle – you’ve taken an ad for Conservatives for Patients Rights, and you expect me to believe you’re looking at this health-care issue in an unbiased way?

    The company’s front man, Rick Scott, was CEO of Columbia/HCA when it was involved in the biggest health care fraud this country as ever seen. His own board of directors ousted him after it was found he was overcharging state and federal health programs, and the company paid a $1.7 BILLION dollar fine for his actions.

    And now you’re taking his money and repping his side?

    Once we stop the death panel lies, the nits about who asked what question at which town hall and the other nonsense, and stop letting insurance companies dictate the tone of the discussions, maybe we can get down to talking about actual issues that matter about this legislation.

    Creating a “crisis” environment, the incitation of unrest, riot, or other violent demonstrations, will enable Obama to lower the hammer of totalitarian control, and stiffle dissent.

    lgm: Health boards who meet in offices in Washington DC deciding which patients can get treatment based on “cost effectiveness” could be considered a death board. For example, if you come in with a set of symptoms in the emergency room that look like condition A, can be condition B in a very small number of cases, say 1% of the time. Today a test would be done to screen for contition A but it could quite easily be the case that this board would say, that test is not cost effective for the whole. This would mean that eventualy someone would die from condition B.

    Yes, Obama and the Democrat Party created the Death Panel in their Health Death Care legislation. Obama said his grandmother with cancer wasn’t worth the money spent on her extended health care. He wanted her dead in order to save the government money. The brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, Dr. Ezekiel J. Emanuel, a noted bioethicist, is advising the Obama administration on health care reform. Dr Emanuel is a pro eugenics supporter. Terminating lives of the elderly, euthanasia, killing unborn babies and people with disabilities. Obama’s hand picked death care bureaucrats have documented backgrounds of supporting early termination of human life.

    Wow, this is totally off topic, but I’ll bite.

    To answer your question, the part that bothers me is that there isn’t a “death board.” The power to approve or deny treatment is left to a single individual. An unelected individual, natch:

    pages 284-288, SEC. 1151. REDUCING POTENTIALLY PREVENTABLE HOSPITAL READMISSIONS:

    ‘(ii) EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN READMISSIONS.—For purposes of clause (i), with respect to a hospital, excess readmissions shall not include readmissions for an applicable condition for which there are fewer than a minimum number (as determined by the Secretary) of discharges for such applicable condition for the applicable period and such hospital.

It might not be literally in the bill, but there is enough in the bill describing how care will be apportioned based on your age and fiscal worth to society that this is merely a logical conclusion. Some entity will be tasked with choosing who is given what procedure/care, this is logically the “death board”

    Oh and btw: if the “death panel” provisions are so innocuous, why has Grassley said they would be taken out?

    Oh and btw: if they were not about cost savings, why are those provisions in the cost savings section of the house 3200 bill?

    And finally: no BS from you about health care being “rationed ” now — all private goods and services are rationed, by the market and the ability to pay. That’s how prices and costs are rationalized. The USSR went bust in large part because there were no measures of costs, only plans and goals set by bureaucrats.

    Oh lgm:

    Here’s your master in his own words, from the NYT:

    THE PRESIDENT: So that’s where I think you just get into some very difficult moral issues. But that’s also a huge driver of cost, right?
    I mean, the chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health care bill out here.

    LEONHARDT: So how do you — how do we deal with it?
    THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think that there is going to have to be a conversation that is guided by doctors, scientists, ethicists. And then there is going to have to be a very difficult democratic conversation that takes place. It is very difficult to imagine the country making those decisions just through the normal political channels. And that’s part of why you have to have some independent group that can give you guidance. It’s not determinative, but I think has to be able to give you some guidance. And that’s part of what I suspect you’ll see emerging out of the various health care conversations that are taking place on the Hill right now.

    Note that “the conversation” will NOT be guided by the elderly patient!!

    And as someone at AoSHQ, where this comes from, reminds us:

    DEATH IS CHEAPER.

    When people are dying, especially when there are potential treatments that are too expensive (even conservatives on this blog recognize that there are limits to the health care an individual can receive), decisions will be difficult. Before the “death panel” baloney, Republicans such as Sarah Palin were in favor of end of life counseling.

    Obama is showing himself to be a true leader. He’s willing to start the difficult but necessary conversations. How do we help people at the ends of their lives? It doesn’t make you Mengele to ask this. It doesn’t make you a eugenicist to propose that health care should include end of care counseling.

    An honest conservative answer might be: “I worry that counselors will encourage sick patients to decline life saving treatments.” A dishonest conservative instead says: “This bill forces counselors to kill inconvenient old people like Stalin killed Ukrainians. (just to take a break from Hitler).”

    When I was with hospice once, we talked with patients about DNRs and such. A patient needed a DNR (do not resuscitate), at that time, in order to participate in the program. It isn’t end of life counseling that scares me. It’s the “opening of the door” that is frightening. Government has always looked to “opening the door” in order to move in and take over. It a major part of American, as well as world, history. A favorite tactic is to slip new regulations into some obscure bill, at some point…an amendment. What? You don’t think that will happen?

    I wonder if my oldest grandson was “too expensive” at birth? Help me lgm, was he? He was born quite premature, barely 3 pounds and thus had Infant Bradycardia. If it were not for some excellent specialist he may well have been a SIDS baby. But they kept in in the hospital until he was four pounds. When they sent him home we (his four grandparents) rotated going to Virginia to sit with him. He slept with a heart monitor–when he quit breathing the heart monitor would scream waking him up and causing him to gasp and breath.

    Was all that too expensive? I do not think I would trust an Obama, Rep. Shelia Jackson-Lee, Kathleen Sebelius or any other left wing “kill the weak” Racial Hygienist to make such a decision. So should his parents have been “given end of life counseling” or that heart monitor? Help me lgm, which was the correct decision?
