Righties: School assignment from 80's on who gets kidneys confirms Obama is planning death panels

That's all the people who haven't signed up to be an organ donor.

Don't they?

good old Phyllis, she still keeps on keep`n on!

republicans will become more and more loonie and even more dangerous.
A cornered Badger or at least Paul Ryan come to mind.

The GOP is not.

I'll take the rat.

True Believing Christians (aka dominionists) would be allowed to receive any medical care whatsoever.

Yet, they shrug it off when insurance companies deny transplants to REAL people.

even with the ACA, rations health care according to how much money you have in your pocket, but of course, stupid republicans are unable to see this.

Too many people start actually THINKING and --poof-- no more GOP!

The right talks about 'ethics', but unless those ethics start from them or it's something they approve of, then it must be immoral.

Remember Nataline Sarkisyan - needed a liver transplant, but her family's insurance company said no - their death panel pulled the plug on her.

that visits the local Chamber of Commerce organizations on an annual basis.

This organization puts the members through a challenge. They break the attendees into three groups, each assigned a status within a fictitious community. Group A is defined as the decision-makers; Group B is the human services and the medical groups; Group C are the poor.

Throughout the day they separated into their respective groups to strategize. My friend was in Group C. The first time they met, Group C was led to a room that had no furniture, so when they met the second time that day, they "stole" the chairs from the larger meeting room. When they were not provided snacks or lunch during these meetings, like the other groups, they stole the danishes and coffee from the reception area. Given no resources to work with, when they were asked how they spent their time they said they passed the time engaging in sex for recreation.

Meanwhile, Group A became more indignant about the boldness of Group C, that they began to make rules to restrict their behavior. When Group B tried to step in to help, Group A made rules to restrict them too. These were not minor infractions. Because the people who sponsored this test did not apply any restrictions on Group A, some of the rules they created ensured the death of each individual. For example, they restricted food and medical resources to Group C and decided how many points could be accumulated before they became deceased. Group C was wiped out by lunchtime. Group B was wiped out too when the individuals lost their jobs whenever they tried to intercede.

This is the result the year my friend participated in this test. She said that the organizers said that in all the years that they had sponsored this test, it was the bleakest outcome they had ever seen. This occurred around the time that the Republicans were starting their power surge. Sometime after the Clinton impeachment and a few years before the march on Iraq with Bush II.

The lesson is very obvious. It's a terrible mistake to expect any kind of humane response coming from the leadership within the Republican party. In the last sixteen years there has been a trickle-down social engineering going on, and they know exactly how they want it to end.
