Death Panels Make It Into Health Care Bill
Washington (AP) - - The Medicare end-of-life planning provision that 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin said was tantamount to “death panels” for seniors is staying in the latest Democratic health care bill unveiled Thursday.
The provision allows Medicare to pay for voluntary counseling to help beneficiaries deal with the complex and painful decisions families face when a loved one is approaching death.
For years, federal laws and policies have encouraged Americans to think ahead about end-of-life decisions, and make their wishes known in advance through living wills and similar legal documents. But when House Democrats proposed this summer to pay doctors for end-of-life counseling, it touched off a wave of suspicion and anger. Prominent Republicans singled it out as a glaring example of government overreach.
Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, at the time a lead negotiator on health care legislation, told constituents at a town hall meeting they had good reason to question the proposal.
“I don’t have any problem with things like living wills, but they ought to be done within the family,” he said. “We should not have a government program that determines you’re going to pull the plug on grandma.”

NEWS FROM THE FUTURE: (Obama’s Future America)
A former president, who could not be identified after a horrible collision, was left with convulsions on the floor as the REVIEW BOARD REP in the new Flying Ambulance Korps felt the “man” was not worth saving because of his age.
The REP told an EXTERMINATION COUNCIL that: “I didn’t realize he was our former messiah.” The REP was executed in accordance to Party Rules, on the spot with his family getting the invoice.
I seems, according to NON-PARTY underground sources, the ex-president had gone to the hotel, where the accident took place in disguise, to attempt to father a NEW Biological entity after losing his own children due to lack of research doctors 15 years earlier. The ACORN professional Sex Counselor that was to be the KOMKUBINE REP from district 8,knew something was wrong when her Initiation-Of-Business Gift (She turns 13 this week) did not arrive.
CNN cried foul at the independent story, citing that the ex-Party Member had been heroically killed while attempting to mediate with a Taliban commander the potential execution of 187 Americans at the New Orleans Dome, after the fall of New Orleans back in 2025.
The execution was carried lived on NBC, which was fully sponsored by the chinese automaker HUMMER. CNN also carried it live, blaming another former president, BUSH, with failures that lead to the “Pelosi Pact” pact between the Taliban, the old Democratic Party and China. The state of Texas is on full War Alert.
