Palin: My Baby Will Have to Stand in Front of Obama’s Death Panel

Sarah Palin weighs in.

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. Such a system is downright evil.

Sorry, Sarah, but you’re losing me here.

If she’s talking about the provision for “end of life” counseling in the health care bill, it’s completely voluntary — nobody “has” to stand in front of any “death panel.” And this is a type of counseling offered by many insurance plans today.

The very words “Obama’s death panel” are so far over the top I can hardly believe she wrote them. I had to make sure this really was her Facebook page.

Can you say “fear mongering?” There are plenty of valid arguments to be made against nationalized health care without taking the rhetoric into “death panel” territory.
