Palin Slams ObamaCare “Death Panels”
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin slammed ObamaCare’s “death panels” over the weekend saying, “The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s ‘death panel’ so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their ‘level of productivity in society,’ whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil…”
LifeSiteNews says “Although the White House and members of the mainstream media rushed to dismiss Palin’s statement as ‘nuts,’ the threat of the government insurance plan becoming a ‘death panel’ for the weakest members of society may not be far off the mark. ABC News recently reported that the Oregon Health Plan refused to cover cancer drugs that cost $4000 per a month for Barbara Wagner, a 64 year-old terminally ill patient with lung cancer. Instead they offered to give her a one-time prescription for lethal drugs to end her life, which would cost the state health provider only $50.”
