Don't Fear the Reaper

Is it me, or is the most annoying thing about the health care debate the irrational fear of a "Death Panel"? It infuriates me that people (viz Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich) are so irresponsibly trying to equate a productive end of life discussion into some type of death tribunal. I mean come on, Grandma has a better chance of getting run over by a reindeer than being euthanized by a "Death Panel". Frankly, if having "Death Panels" means better planning for end of life care, I am completely pro Death Panel. Yeah Death Panel!!

Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich, you have watched too much Logan's Run.

I am no fan of a National Health plan, but I too am tired of the hyperbole. I think there are lots of good arguments, but the "Death Panel" is not one of them. But you are prescient, check this out. http://amaze.fm/artist/Perry/grandma-got-run-over-by-obama-care/
