Death Panels and the Republican Health Plan
From Wikipedia:
"Death panel" is a political term that originated during the 2009 debate about federal health care legislation to cover the uninsured in the United States. The term was coined in August 2009 by Sarah Palin, the former Republican Governor of Alaska, when she charged that the then-proposed Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act [aka Obamacare] would create a "death panel" of bureaucrats who would decide whether Americans—such as her elderly parents or children with Down syndrome—were "worthy of medical care".
I am sure Ms. Palin doesnt see the irony. Before Obamacare 55 million Americans had zero health care insurance. Most because some insurance bureaucratic "death panel" decided that they couldnt have health insurance. That's right, exactly what Ms. Palin projected that Obamacare would do. In fact, Obamacare has no provisions for denying health insurance coverage to anyone. And now that Obamacare is law of the land, a "death panel" of Republican governors have decided to refuse the Obamacare expansion of Medicaid for their states, leaving millions of Americans without health insurance coverage. It's estimated that 17,000 will die because of lack of treatment denied them via the Republican governor "death panel".
Death Panels, the cornerstone of the Republican health plan.
