Years after Sarah Palin was mocked, and even received a Lie Of The Year award from Politifact, for suggesting that Obamacare contained death panels, the New York Times has reported that as early as next year Medicare will indeed reimburse doctors for end-of-life consultations. Critics state that this will end up encouraging sick patients to reject costly treatments that would prolong their life. Of course, doctors will be on the government payroll, who will want to cut healthcare costs...if not for any reason than to line their pockets with more money, like weve seen at the VA. And after the government ends up choosing who ends up going to medical school, which is surely on the governments agenda, well... End-of-life care represents around 22% of all of medical spending in the US. A former Obama adviser, Steve Rattner, has openly stated that we need death panels to curb healthcare costs for everyone. “We need death panels,” Rattner simply wrote. “ Well, maybe not death panels, exactly, but unless we start allocating health care resources more prudently — rationing, by its proper name — the exploding cost of Medicare will swamp the federal budget.” Read More: truthandaction.org/ny-times-death-panels-making-comeback/
