The Washington Times highlights something in the new plan that sounds kind of familiar:
“This gives the technocrats in the administration more power and a freer hand to make changes to payment rates and change the terms for exchange,” Michael Cannon, health policy studies director at the Cato Institute, told The Washington Times. He recently wrote an editorial titled, “Sorry Folks, Sarah Palin is (Partly) Right” for the Detroit Free Press, explaining how he thought IMAC would ration health care for those who depend on Medicare. The former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate has been widely denounced by Democrats for suggesting their health care expansion plans would include “death panels.”
“Obama has created a panel that gives IMAC the power to decide who can and who cannot get medical care,”.
A Panel that decides who gets care and who doesn’t what does that remind me of?
Sarah Capewell begged them to save her tiny son, who was born just 21 weeks and five days into her pregnancy – almost four months early.
They ignored her pleas and allegedly told her they were following national guidelines that babies born before 22 weeks should not be given medical treatment.
Good think they’ve debunked that wacky Sarah Palin isn’t it?
