"Death Panels"

Here's the disclaimer: I am not in favor of national health care. Sarah Palin came out much stronger than that accusing at least one of the plans currently being debated in congress as containing a provision for what she called "death panels." That term might be a little harsh; however, it's really not that far from being fully factual. The president has quickly responded with his own rhetoric. No substance to the rhetoric and no real explanation of what is meant by the wording in the bill, just a reading of selective portions of it. Take a look at Sarah Palin's response to the president on her Facebook page here http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=116471698434. Beyond that I offer this example of where the government of Oregon refused to fund a chemotherapy drug for a cancer patient but offered to fund her doctor assisted suicide - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6ojBgTyA7I. Not a chance I want to take.
