Sherrod Brown & Death Panels
While radical leftist Senator Sherrod Brown is busy insulting socialized health care skeptics as brain-dead robots programmed by insurance companies, he noted that there really aren’t death panels in the proposed ObamaCare. And yesterday, it was reported that Democrats are now dropping these “nonexistent” death panels from the legislation.
But the problem is, nine states already have versions of ObamaCare- And for example, Oregon, a state with legalized euthanasia (“Good morning. The Doctor will KILL you now.”) already has death panels.
Sherrod Brown has long put populism over economic fact, so it is up to us to stop him. And regardless if explicit “consultation” boards exist to discuss with seniors their health care “options,” the demand for a service offered for free (at the margins) will always mean demand will be greater than supply, which leads to shortages and rationing. This quite literally means government, in order to cut costs, chooses who lives and dies.
And even though Sherrod Brown is no fan of tort reform, you can bet the government will not subject itself to malpractice lawsuits once it starts playing God.

Yet again, Matt, you fail basic reading comprehension. What Grassley said was that they didn't include the language of "end of life" consulations in his committee's legislation because he feared it was open to misinterpretation. That "dropping" occured, not today, not this week, but before the August recess and before any said anything about "death panels." You take a misleading and factually inccorect headline and salvate over something while missing that it's hard to say anything was dropped from the legislation this week when Congress isn't even in session. In fact, Grassley's comments make clear that the Democrats aren't dropping it at all, the Senate Finance Committee didn't include it in its version it's working to unveil fully by Sept.
However, there's still the HELP Committee, which Brown I believe is on, that passed its own version health care reform which I believe does provide benefits for "end-of-life" consultations with doctors to discuss living wills and advanced directives. And still does. And there's been nothing this week that it drop it.
Modern you continue to prove to me the libertarian argument that people shouldn’t need a license to provide legal services. I’m saying that rationing and death panels are inherent in this plan, regardless if they mention it or not.
