Palin: Beware Obama's "Death Panel"

Indeed:

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin called President Barack Obama’s health plan “downright evil” Friday in her first online comments since leaving office, saying in a Facebook posting that he would create a “death panel” that would deny care to the neediest Americans.

“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,” the former Republican vice presidential candidate wrote.

“Such a system is downright evil,” Palin wrote on her page, which has nearly 700,000 supporters. She encouraged her supporters to be engaged in the debate.

Call it what you will, Obama-bots, but any government panel deciding health matters will eventually decide health matters based on the need of the bureaucrats who run the system and the politicians who want to keep problems under wraps. Its a certainty that if we go with Obamacare we’ll eventually all be forced in to single-payer (as Obama said we would – later obfuscations not withstanding) and then we’ll be forced in to rationed care because you can’t have an unlimited supply of anything which is “free”.

I don’t want my fate decided on the basis of anything other than God’s will – certainly not on the recommendation of a faceless, bureaucratic panel.
