Steele: Palin's Talk Of A "Death Panel" Is "Perfectly Appropriate"

[one...two...tree 2,762]

By Eric Kleefeld

RNC Chairman Michael Steele just appeared on the Neil Cavuto show, where he endorsed Sarah Palin's accusation that President Obama will set up "death panels" to decide who is worthy or not of medical care.

"Well I think it's proper," said Steele, when Cavuto asked him about Palin's remarks, "because it's in the context of what people are seeing in some of the legislation that's floating around out there. When you're talking about panels that are gonna be imposed, that will be making life-and-death decisions, that will be making decisions about whether or not you get health care or don't receive health care, I think that's perfectly appropriate."

Now how you characterize it is a matter of interpretation," he then added, "but it doesn't change the fact that buried within a lot of this legislation is stuff that's fairly onerous."

As an example of another onerous provision, he said that the government will have access to people's financial information. For more information on this other right-wing talking point, check out Zack Roth's debunking of it.

So, these applets should quite properly be assigned to the Insurance assessors now then? Or???

What a lot of misdirection though, really.

It's ok for private insurance assessors because they can make a profit from it.

She has a point, after all Alaska's health care is probably second to none. If there is anyone who knows about health care it's bloody Alaskans.

Ok, I'll ask my previously misplaced question here then. How is this different than, say, organ transplant lists where the young go to the top of the list? This is a genuine question - I haven't been keeping up with the ins and outs of the proposal.

Under Obamacare, organ transplants would be eliminated for non Party members.
