[Flynn’s comments: Government sponsored programs already exists: Social Security, Medicare and Medical. The problem is that the systems is supposed to be bankrupt: Show me the money! Unfortunately, Obama’s Nationalized health care/insurance reform bill will cost the American taxpayers $1.3 trillion dollars! That’s adding to an already bankrupt government, which is an already highly inefficient business-model system.]
Snippet from external source (visit the link to view the full article):
Like many disagreements in the digital age, it all started with a post on Facebook. Last Friday, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin posted a note to her Facebook page and introduced a new term to the health care debate:
Palin, Aug. 7: 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.
Unsurprisingly, the phrase “death panel” does not appear in the health care bill that passed House committees last month.
Obama is referring to Section 1233 of H.R. 3200, which is titled “Advance Care Planning Consultation.” As we explained a few weeks ago, it “would require Medicare to pay for some end-of-life planning counseling sessions with a health care practitioner.”
The fact remains that the bill wouldn’t require patients to receive counseling sessions, nor would it require a doctor to offer one. […]he or she doesn’t have to pay for it – Medicare will.
