SON- Gee Mom...you did that without firing a shot!SARAH- I can't take credit for it, son. Obama Care got to him first.
Hmmm... it seems everyone in the Democrat White House was clowning Sarah Palin for talking about H.R. 3200 containing "death panels" and now, according to the L.A.Times...
"A Senate panel has decided to scrap the part of its healthcare bill that in recent days has given rise to fears of government "death panels," with one lawmaker suggesting the proposal was just too confusing. The Senate Finance Committee is taking the idea of advance care planning consultations with doctors off the table as it works to craft its version of healthcare legislation, a Democratic committee aide said Thursday."
So what was wrong with it that they had to omit the advance care planning part of the Obama Care bill? Team Sarah scores one! Team Obama, your moose is cooked.

Advance care planning SHOULD be a part of healthcare, but not a legislated part of it. For many of the patients I dealt with at my last job, it had a fairly big role in care planning, but then again, I was working in transplant and there were no "sure things" for these people. But odds were good in many cases. Is the government going to deny them the chance of a good life? Is the government going to decide when it's time for us to stop giving care?
What really bothers me about the government becoming involved in this sort of thing is that they have no idea of what really goes into the care and management of many seriously ill patients, the opportunity for recovery, the productivity they may have if they receive good care...
The government doesn't belong in the doctor's office or in the hospital. Doctors, nurses, and patients do.
Joanie goes tellin' it like it is! I love your comment looong time, Joanie because it is all too true! Thank you looong time for your perspective on this all-important takeover we are facing!!!

Heh...
I think his moose is well done after only 8 months.
Not to inject politics into things or turn this into debate... but I'm puzzled. Weren't these the same people a few years back who screamed and hollered at the thought that the gummint might mandate a doctor to tell female patients about the status of an unborn baby and (horrors!) show her a picture of the developmental stage of the baby?
Remember those folks? They ranted and screamed that the gummint had no business interfering in the doctor/patient relationship. And the gummint had no right to mandate what a doctor and patient discussed.
They really meant it then.
(Still scratching my head in wonderment.)
