Sarah Palin Believes Obama Has a "Death Panel".
I know, I know. I should just walk away and not gawk at the car wreck that is Sarah Palin's attempts to communicate via Twitter and Facebook.
However, my inner child, with no maturity at all, is demanding that I respond to Sarah Palin's latest commentary on Health Care Reform. At least it will be therapeutic for me.
As I'm sure you've seen, here is the quote from Sarah Palin's Facebook page:
As more Americans delve into the disturbing details of the nationalized health care plan that the current administration is rushing through Congress, our collective jaw is dropping, and we’re saying not just no, but hell no!...
And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. 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...

Where do you begin with this kind of statement? Since Sarah Palin is an avowed non-reader, she repeats the kind of nonsense that others have conjured up on right-wing radio to scare people away from Health Care Reform.
By the way, Sarah. The phrase, "we’re saying not just no, but hell no!" has been uttered by you regarding so many issues, that the words have lost their meaning.
Let’s do this slowly, Sarah, so you can keep up.
- If you like your private insurance, you get to keep it.
- If you don’t like a Corporate Health Insurance accountant deciding which treatment that your doctor recommended will actually be paid for, if any, you can select the Public Option.
- There is no rationing of care, except that which is going on now for 50 million Americans without health insurance.
Any questions?
Finally, a small recommendation: when you want to sound credible, don't quote Michelle Bachmann or post her video. She likes the "crazy talk".
