Palin Paints Picture of 'Obama Death Panel' Giving Thumbs Down to Trig

Republicans love to trot out the "death panel" garbage. How many Republican adminstrations ever came up with a health care plan for everyone? Personally, when I'm old and very sick, I hope they pull th plug on me. That's why I have a Living Will and a Health Care Power of Attorney.

First,the Health Reform Bill was not intended to be read and clearly understood, at least not by the average citizen Secondly, an artificial sense of urgency has been created to get the bill pushed & rushed through. Thirdly, this bill is being implemented using exactly the same devious methods as those used to underhandedly pass the FEDERAL RESERVE BILL in 1913! It was also passed during a holiday when everyone was pre-occupied with holiday festivities. Woodrow Wilson realized his folly too late...when will we realize ours? REGARDLESS of how the Bill is worded (to appease any opposition), it will be later re-amendeded after it has been ratified, to suit the agenda of those from whom Obama receives his directives. This 'Healthcare Plan' has nothing at all to do with the 'health' of the people, or caring for the sick and elderly.

How many of you people actually followed the link to read the Bill?

joe wilson and sarah palin need to come up with a better plan to help the president and democratic with this health care reform bill.not with outburst and lies with the death panel!republican here is your opportunity to help with this problem! thank you

That article was written at "kick off". But no excuses,(or possibly explanations), because when "you got the ball, you ran with it". End of discussion, hope that a sensible debate will be facilitated by media and not the above mentioned

I think I'm more concerned with the other part of the bill, wherein the law will make it ok for social workers to just enter your home, under the guise of helping to educate you about raising your kids. But, don't worry, they're only being paid to do it in the poorer neighborhoods and those neighborhoods wherein abuse has already been identified. So, if your neighbor down the street had a run in with them, your bootie could get caught up in it, because they might just make a visit to your door, uninvited. Of course, you could always refuse their services...but, have you ever refused entry into your home by a social worker? Might as well call in the PD and court systems when soon as you do. That's a part, due to the wording, that could, literally and legally, put a lot of kids into child protective service's custody. Whereas, previously, they needed a reason, legally, to come to your home, if that bill passes (even though it's a voluntary program, kind of like taxes,) they are legally required to go to your home and offer the services. Isn't that nice of them? Can you imagine what would happen if you were working on your home at the time they showed up, and it wasn't up to what they considered par? You know, maybe you were putting in a new floor, or something like that? How about if your son, little Johnny, came to the door all dirty, because he was out playing in the back yard, with his friends. Boy, could that be twisted around, eh? And, as quick as social workers are to jump, can you imagine not having one bill of right put in place (such as amendment 4) to prevent this? It would make it legal for them to take your kids, just because they visited you at the wrong time. Isn't that cool? lol What other pretty little secrets are hidden in this bill?

There is a fictional book out there called The Death Bond Conspiracy, which tells an unbelievable story of the murder elderly Americans as a means of saving Social Security, fewer recipients-fewer payouts. Is there more to death panels than health care?

William Robinson,
I believe Sarah's son's name is Trig.

Nothing wrong with a public health system per se, Canada's isn't perfect but it's better than no health care at all, losing your home because of medical bills, or beinig dropped mid-treatment. There have been a lot of lies and stories told about our system, by media accounts Canadians are dropping like flies for lack of care...not true! Where the President is erring I believe is trying to do too much all at once. He is an idealist, something many of us aspire to be, now he is in a position to do something positive for the millions of Americans without healthcare. All I can say is don't react to the media reports and self-interested bullies, check the bill yourself and then let Obama what you don't support. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

By the way, one major component any health care system should have is preventative and lifestyle education, and also teach people that they have to take responsibility for how they treat their bodies. You can't abuse it for 40 or 50 years and then expect someone else to make you well and pay for it. Expand phys-ed in schools so kids become athletic naturally and prefer to stay that way and for pete's sake, put out your cigarette, put down the beer, turn off the tv and go for a walk!

Pink, the majority of American people are not socialist, It is an Americans duty to protect our Constitution and Obama and his weasel democratic congress is threatning that. Remember they started this.

PALIN ! DO YOU HAVE A NAME FOR YOUR DOWN SYNDROME SON ? WE ALL KNOW THE CHILD BY THE NAME DOWN SYNDROME BABY WHAT IS THIS ! WHAT A MESS THIS IS CALLING YOUR SON DOWN SYNDROME ALL THE TIME AND NOT BY IS GOD GIVING NAME DING DONG

Money is the root of all evil. Get rid of this and most issues would be solved. Human greed trumps anything good that can come along. But I acknowledge that greed is an innate part of human nature and we must learn to work with it effectively. Would studying the healthcare system of another nation for example "Sweden"? be an admission that the USA is NOT indeed the greatest nation on earth and that we can learn from another country? Would it be so horrible to not be the "Best". What is the "Best" anyway? How do we define being the “Best”? I would say being the best we can be is a nation of healthy, educated folks who are not hungry with a lower rate of crime. Utopian and unrealistic one might think? Not so much. Look at Scandinavia. Leaders who proclaim their country to be the greatest on earth are dangerous. Adolf Hitler thought Aryans and Germans were the "Master Race". Do we ever want to mirror any of those habits? Hopefully not. Let’s admit we are not the supreme beings on this planet and adopt the attitude, “Maybe we ought to look at the way it is done over there – it appears to work and the folks are happy.” Sounds as if Pres. Obama wants everyone to start reducing the greed and looking out for their neighbor. Not such a bad goal really. These are basic principles of most religions; Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Ming and yes...Islam.

In 1994 Bill Clinton who is supporting Obamas agenada for healthcare reform sent a Presidential panel around different areas in our country to gather info about human radiation expierments and other crimes against humanity well he gathered it and did nothing to help the victims of the atrocities that were commited he left them high and dry. Don't believe his rallying for Obamas agenda.

And who wrote the healthreform bill? APOLLO, Who is APOLLO? Read your history people, Obama's plan is right out of Saul Ulinsky's book. APOLLO, SEIU, ACORN, look at the background of his CZARS, not nice people, read and educate yourself if you don't want to believe the news. It is in black and white.

This isnt a left wing right wing thing. It goes beyond taxes. This is about the government deciding who lives and who dies, which will ultimately be the outcome of any sort of nationalized/socialized system. Reform is needed, but having nothing changed would be better than having this mistake voted in. When was the last time you saw something listed as free that didnt have a little disclaimer that said "while supplies last"? Do you really think the rich will be the ones paying for this? They are the ones, both rich libbies and rich conservos, that pay the politicians. This will be passed down to the middle class. The middle class has just enough money to pay the bills, but not enough to really make a difference if they dont like whats happening.

for the person saying that it's christianity to provide for others or share the wealth...Jesus said"TEACH A MAN TO FISH AND HE WILL EAT FOR A LIFETIME..FEED HIM AND HE EATS TODAY" so we need to teach these people how to work to make their own way in this country.

FOLK ARE WORRY ABOUT THE COST OF THE NEW HEALTH CARE REFORM !THE REPUBLICAN AND CEO ARE USEING FEAR TACTICE TO STOP THIS BILL FROM PASS!THE HIGHEST PAID POLITICAL IS THE CEO !THE REPUBLICAN MAKING FOLK SKEPTICISM ABOUT THIS HEALTH CARE BILL PEOPLE OUT THERE DON'T LET THE REPUBLICAN POLITICAL FOOL YOU ON THIS BILL !THE HIGHEST CEO JUST WANT TO KEEP THERE MONY COMING IN $$$$$$$$$

THERE ARE MANY OF RICH PEOPLE OUT THERE THATS DON'T WON;T THIS NEW HEALTH CARE BILL TO PASS BECAUSES THE RICH WILL BE PAYING MORE TAXES !IT ABOUT TIME FOR THE RICH PEOPLE TAXES TO GO UP ! BEING POOR OR MIDDLE CLASS WE BEEN PAYING TAXES FOR YEARS ! SO YES I AM FOR THIS NEW HEALTH CARE REFORM THE AMERICANS I KNOW AND LOVE WILL LIKE THIS BILL TO PASS T00.

flora, The majority of Americans are not going down the path of the Obama's healthcare agenda of socialism. Americans that are opposed to his healthcare plan are not being mean we are protesting for you too wheather or not you can see that. It is an American's duty to protect our country against another form of goverment being rooted.

I applaud President Obama for wanting to try to fix the health care problems.If we americans would begin to eat right,educate the public about the foods that we should eat,there would not be so many health issues. Most of what we eat and drink are contaminated and government needs to do something about that.
To him who is given much, much is required, and how did most of you get what you do have? Proably, from others in need now. There will soon come a time when you won't be able to buy or sell. I am poor, but if it takes a little more from my pay check to help someone else in need, I am willing to do so. You are crying "Socialism", but it is really called christianity. It is now time to practice what you have been preaching for years.
Let's work with our President and not trying to fight against what he promised to do before election, to fix health care.
If this country was founded on christian principles then let us try to initiate a system of health care that will meet the needs all of people. You were Not born to live forever and there is an appointed time to die.
Let us show other countries how charitable and live up to our christian faith.

What a mess! If this is true, God Help us.

I have heard NOTHING GOOD ABOUT OBAMA'S HEALTHCARE PLAN.
Also, SARAH PALIN has a reputation to clean up.

I think both Obama and Palin have their own agenda and don't care who or what dies for them to get what they want. If the political rumors are true, they both will be running for office in 2012.
Suffice it to say, neither should be trusted.

Israel supports Obama because it is ungodly if people doesn't want to help other people
Help sick , poor and older people

I can remember when a small contractor I worked for could afford to buy blue cross and shield with major med for me and my family.What changed, the government demanded non profit hospitals to take in whoever walked through the door.then we got medicare taht drove up prices and frivolous law suits that drove up doctors malpractice insurance.every problem we have is caused by to much government regs and intervention and you want them to fix the problem, They are the problem.

I have insurance at a cost of over $10 thousand a year, I only made $30 thousand, My premium shot up after I turned 60 & have a few pre-existing conditions

Seniors and babyboomers have long memories when it comes around to voting all the acorns in his group will not be able to combat what his healthcare horror story contained in the 1,018 healthcare proposel. Maybe you all could read what Obamas chief health advisor says, he doesn't believe a child is a fully developed human being untill they are two years old or so, Thats how they feel about abortion also fetus can be destroyed because not really a life yet this is a very dangerous area. Don't have to believe me do some research.

The current USA medical system is dictated by insurance companies, following formulas and deciding who does & does not received medical care. The insurance companies should be totally out of the medical care system -until then we are all spending money just to keep those companies in business and not taking care of people who require medical aid.

Sad to say but we spend about 70 cents of every healthcare dollar during the last 6 months of life. Doesn't leave a lot left over for prenatal care, childhood vaccinations, and other preventative care when it would really make a difference.

We could better allocate funds if we spent the money to prevent illness rather than letting folks go without care until they are so sick that it costs a packet to watch them die.

Try something new folks. Remember that the biggest mud-slingers against change already have great healthcare on your nickel. I don't ask for much -- just the same coverage we give elected officials and government workers.

Your all losing track of the real issue, when gov. controls your health care they control you and your family. Wake up, it's about freedom and we are slowly losing it piece by piece. Socialism is rearing its ugly head and we are counting pennies.

It truly amazes me how we can be so gullible and afraid of trying something new. We have been taken advantage of by Wall Street, Insurance Companies, Pharmecuticals and people like Sarah Palin. Oh by the way she is not the first nor will she be the last to use fear of someone or something to advance an political or financial agenda.We claim to be Americans and are fighting for what America stands for, if thats what we are really about then lets do something for all Americans. Support the health care reform, banking reform and politcal reform so that we can have an America that if governed by the people for the people.

Charlotte, Do you think we should serve our seniors up on a platter so you can be insured. there are many insurance companies here in USA go to them like most of Americans have been doing for many years.

I am uninsurable because of pre existing conditions after I have worked over 35 years. What a nightmare. I have been waiting for the public option & those idiots are LYING! They have insurance. If they didn't they would be the first ones for it.

"...but pictures of government bureaucrats forcing euthanasia upon seniors -- and, now, children with Down syndrome -- because they're not productive members of society are not part of any reasonable debate on the facts of the matter."

Well, it should be. If I have to watch one more decrepit Memaw dribble soup down her whiskery chin I'm gonna flip my wig. I paid for that plate and wrinkled pensioners is what's ruining my full Steak Kountry Buffet experience. Wut wut!!!!

for all the mccain people out there that be at these small town hall meeting talking and fighting about the new health care reform!all of you need to know what;s the hell ther are fighting about all of you need to learn the new h.c.r! mccain you should step in and put a stop to all of this fighting at these town hall meeting and lets get american people back rollin thank you american this will. robinson

I meant to add I do care for you all no matter who you support.

We really don't know if Palin's doing. What the majority of Americans are trying to do is make sure our goverment is not going to be changed into another form of goverment. I vote for whoever does the right things for Americans and believe me I do my homework. As far as Pelosi goes she does speak for Obama to me they are like a two headed monster.

for all of you socialism people out there hear me out : there is no death panel provision in this bill . the goverment will not take over the health care, nor is there any plan to phase out private health care.there is a lots of stupid people out there thats need learn how to read and lisen! the new reform health care will "help" us not hurt us . i voted for obama and i will stick with him to the end!obama is doing a good job as a president so americans don;t fall for the fear mongering and scare tactics.

ok ! domino sorry about that! but we all know that pelosi is not runing for president but palin is . so that why she should keep her mouth closes and get a real job. top that domino thank you

From Palin - what else did you expect? It is extremely unfortunate as the comments are further polarizing our nation, but this is what ill informed want-to-bees do. They care nothing about truth yet hide behind the cloak of christianity - giving real christians a bad name.

Palin has a taste of the big times and she will do absolutely anything to capitalize on her new fame, but let her keep talking. Many people I know who thought she was about something have taken a second, third and forth look and have come to the conclusion that she is all about nothing. A pretty package with nothing of worth inside. Each time she opens mouth she inserts foot. You go girl!

If the media were at all smart, they would honor her wish and keep her out the limelight. That's what she wanted -so she said. She does not add anything positive to the debate so why give her the coverage? That is a NO BRAINER! Wink! Wink!

You know... If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten... Time for a change folks. It's not going to happen overnight. Our government is and always will be the best in the world. Let's get started and fix what's broken and then tweak it for a few administrations. Let's see what come of it. Relax. Stress will kill you faster than anything else.

Many of us do know and we are trying not to be swept into socialism and beyond. Many of us are trying to sound the alert. Our elders in the front lines are taking all the flack for speaking up against it, hopefully others will realize before its to late and give a hand before this monster gets in motion.. I love my country and am exercising my right under the First Amendment, "Freedom of Speech.

Wink
Are you talking about the goverments CDC ethical distribution of vaccine for example H1N1 flu.

As a person who has lived in communism (pardon, actually was socialism thriving towards communism) I am appauled how gulible and uninformed the majority of americans are...The universal system in the countries that have it is a system of bribes and nepotism. There is no fairness in it as there is no fairness in the social assistance plans that the young and strong are taking advantage of (=promoting laziness and irresponsibility) when the old and frail have their benefits cut. What is the scariest of all is that Europe is moving rampantly towards capitalism while US is moving rampantly towards socialism and then, my friends you will realize quickly the missinformation and manipulation that is the canvas of so many socialist countries, but it will be too late as it was with so many countries that wanted to divert from it and it was not possible. I think the Russians won the Cold War because americans are hating USA while Russians love their Mother Russia! The victory was in the manipulation of the mind which occured in the americans and not in the Russians! Cheers!

Domino- did you read the article? Its about decisions required during a pandemic, not everyday medical care. Please read it.

there's no debating with these stupid people. it's like trying to reason with a block of wood.

I can not understand why people are fighting so hard and arguing so loudly in favor of protecting our current system. I mean, this is a system which is now entrenched for the benefit of insurance companies and pharmacutical companies. The process of obtaining health care and paying for it has become a labrynth that the average consumer can't navigate. Patients end up with massive bills. Doctors and providers end up with endless paperwork. Insurance companies and pharm companies end up with all the money. Please, please, let's address some of the very real problems that exist in our health delivery system and take this opportunity to make real and valuable changes. Fear of change should not stop us and shame on those who spread outrageous rumors and stir up fear and undermine a real debate of these issues.

NOW SARAH PALIN IS NOT THE ALASKA GOV. ANYMORE!SHE HAVE NO JOB SO SHE USE THE MEDIA TO STAY IN THE SPOT LIGHT SO SHE CAN KEEP MAKING THING UP ;PALIN IS NOT A VOICE FOR THE MOST PRECIOUS MEMBERS OF OUR SOCIETY, OUR CHILDREN AND OUR SENIOR. P.S SARAH PALIN YOU NEED A REAL 9-5 JOB ASK OBAMA TO LEND YOU SOME MONEY!HA HA HA HA

william, Ok ok settle down so you don't like Palin. Many of us don't think Your Pelosi is a shining star either.

SARAH PALIN REMARKS SIMPLY MAKES NO SENSE WHEN SHE WAS ASKING MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA TO KEEP HER CHILDREN OUT OF THE PUBLIC DEBATE. SARAH YOU KEEP PUTING YOU KIDS IN THE PUBLIC.KEEP THEM HOME! I KNOW YOU NEED A JOB AND THATS WHY YOU BE DRAGING YOUR KIDS AROUND THE WORLD WITH YOU . GET A REAL JOB

SARAH PALIN NEED TO KEEP HER KIDS OUT OF THE PAPER AND TV JUST OUT OF THE SPOT LIGHT AND KEEP HER MOUTH CLOSE.I

AS a member of the government who receives healthcare paid for by the tax payers, I simply wanted to take a moment to say "thanks, suckers!" Keep debating what the corporations and political types tell you to.
