They’re back! - The return of death panels

They’re back! - The return of death panels | LifeSiteNews.com: The object here isn’t to “reduce stress” or promote “patient and family satisfaction”— it’s to convince people to forego treatment when it’s expensive. This is especially true as governments become the health insurer of last and, increasingly, first resort. The government would rather have people pass up expensive treatments voluntarily. But don’t doubt the bureaucracy’s willingness to do it with or without your cooperation.

Editor: Death panels wouldn't be an issue if individuals were paying their own health care costs. But the fact is few, if any, do. If there is a limited supply of money, I can't expect others to pay for any and all services that I might want.
