“No Problem With Death Panels, Not Even a Smidgen.”

And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s ‘death panel’ so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their ‘level of productivity in society,’ whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.


When individuals receive care through the VA, it becomes the only payer and hence, the only decision-maker. The VA decides who gets care, when, and how much. Moreover, as the single payer, the VA bears the risk of loss: If tax dollars aren’t enough to pay for the care demanded, there’s only one result —rationing of care.

Palin then quotes Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, and the president to conclude that the Affordable Care Act was established as the first step toward a government-run, single-payer system, keeping private insurers out of the mix.

And how do other federal single-payer plans measure up? The Heritage Foundation noted in 2009 that the AMA’s National Health Insurance Report Card compared the rejection rate by Medicare, the primary single-payer plan in America, to that of private insurers.

“Medicare denies 6.85 percent of its claims, higher than any private insurer,” Heritage reported, “and more than double any private insurer’s average.”

Palin submitted that history would eventually prove her right.

I love this American Awakening when finally more voters can’t say they weren’t warned. Stamped with the media’s “Lie of the Year”, I had the sticky label on my back for years used as convenient “proof” that commonsense conservatives just don’t know what we’re talking about. Denouncing from the Orwellian Left and a squishy Right ensued. But the truth stares us in the face and pocketbook, especially as we see the unworkable Obamacare.
