No Such Thing As Death Panels Removed From Senate Version
Posted on August 13, 2009
The Hill Is reporting
The Senate Finance Committee will drop a controversial provision on consultations for end-of-life care from its proposed healthcare bill, its top Republican member said Thursday.
The committee, which has worked on putting together a bipartisan healthcare reform bill, will drop the controversial provision after it was derided by conservatives as “death panels” to encourage euthanasia.
“On the Finance Committee, we are working very hard to avoid unintended consequences by methodically working through the complexities of all of these issues and policy options,” Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said in a statement. “We dropped end-of-life provisions from consideration entirely because of the way they could be misinterpreted and implemented incorrectly.”
I don’t want anyone to get too excited about this, since what everyone has been really talking about are the provisions in the HOUSE legislation, particularly section 1233 of HR 3200.
Others: The Note, Michelle Malkin, Atlas Shrugs, Weasel Zippers, Freedom’s Lighthouse, Hot Air, Little Green Footballs (unhinged Palin Derangemt Syndrome in view), The Political Carnival and Below The Beltway (doesn’t get it, and a little PDS, as well.)
Also, Harry Reid thinks you protesters are “evil-mongers.” Hmm, since this is being cross-posted at 3 sites…..

I’ve linked to your post from Obamacare
I’m still not happy with the way rationing of health care, the decision making progress of who gets treatment, will work.
Specifically how Doctors get “graded” for approved care via HIT. If somebody 100 years old needs a pacemaker, but the recommended treatment is pain bills. The doctor gets placed in a conflict of interest with those who pay the bills and those who need the treatment.
I’ve had problems with the DMV computer having bad information in it; The computer wanted me to go to court but the court did not want to see me. I never got the DMV record corrected even after talking to attorneys; and doing what they thought would work – the statue of limitations finally resolved the issue.
The other problem is who feeds in to the computer what options I will have for health care. Currently I don’t have enough money to pay an increase in tax to opt out of government care and still have enough to pay for the care I may need. Guess I can cross the border and go to Mexico and let the government think I am on the government option.
This post on my page was 39% evil. Not evil enough.
How does this one rate?

Interestingly, if I just use the link to posts by either yourself or myself, we both only get 30% evil. Sigh.
Jon Ray gets 30%, too. Strangely, Van Helsing is at 21% evil.
Wayne’s post is only 22% evil. Frustrating. None of us are evil enough!
The IRS will be enforcing the power of life and death in a Healthcare program designed by a tax-cheat.
What could go wrong?
