New York Times Takes A Leftist Activist Stance: Surprise!

August 14, 2009 / 3:50 pm • By Dr. Melissa Clouthier

The New York Times once again talks bout Death Panels. A.J. Strata writes an excellent rebuttal.

It’s simple, really. Right now, families and doctors make the decisions. Under Government Run Health care, a panel of “experts” will decide what ailments will receive coverage….or not. People will not get coverage because the coverage will not be cost-effective.

Special interests groups will lobby this panel. It will become a political decision, not a personal decision. Health care will be politicized.

The only reason the Left loves this notion right now, is because “their” people are in charge in the government. Their tune will change when the opposition is in charge.

Sarah Palin has more.

    Right Melissa, why bother refuting the facts when all you have to do is plug your ears and keep repeating the lie? As you and I both know there is no such language anywhere in any of the proposals. I get how simple it is to do this. What I’m not understanding is how you live with yourself.

    It takes a whole lot of ignorance, Melissa, to say that presently families and doctors make the decisions.
    Insurance companies limiting payments for the costly treatments that seriously ill people need doesn’t enter it, does it?
    Nobody you know ever had their physician suggest a PET scan and get turned down by the insurance company?
