I Got Your Death Panels, Right Here

Read it. And watch the video.
“It’s a lot cheaper to grab a couple drugs and kill you than it is to provide you with life sustaining therapy,” Dr. Brian Callister of Reno, NV told the Patients’ Rights Action Fund. “Simple as that.” His words appeared in a sobering video PRAF released exposing the shockingly limited treatment options available to terminally ill patients.
One particular option, however, is becoming increasingly available to patients – that is, if you can call it an ‘option’ at all. Physician assisted suicide, now legal in California, Colorado, Oregon, Vermont, Washington State, and Washington, D.C., has been recommended more and more frequently. Yet the healthcare professionals recommending assisted suicide are not necessarily doctors. Insurance companies are beginning to cash-in on the fact that legalized assisted suicide proves less expensive than covering life-saving procedures. “They want to do whatever the least costly thing is,” Dr. Callister told PRAF.
And if we get a government-paid-for health care system, it will only get worse. Government bureaucrats will not hesitate to kill people who are only going to die anyway rather than spend money on them that could more productively buy votes to keep them in office.

This has been true of Great Britain’s NHS since the early 1980’s to my certain knowledge.

As I’ve said repeatedly here: Death panels; they’re the only fiscally viable option.
