great leader of what? What is she the leader of? Name me a contribution to anything other than this debate with the death panel this and making sure john mccain (who would have made an awesome president) didn't get elected? What has she done? Oh and even her contriubution by adding the words death panel, she retracted. it was just out there long enough to cause a panic.

It should be a FAMILY decision, not a Government decision you sicko.

What is hurting this country is Obama and his constant spread of misinformation about the HR 3200, and has the gall to claim it is "Others" who are spreading misinformation.

I am glad to say that, because of great leaders like Sarah Palin, America is now informed about this horrible bill, and has rejected it.

It can still get passed, yes, but the American people will reject this congress for it.

cheers :)

"unable to communicate those wishes, including requirements regarding the designation of a surrogate decisionmaker (also known as a healthcare proxy)."

This means that if you are in a coma your proxy will make the decision for you.....THAT ALREADY IS THE CASE!!! NOTHING IS ANY DIFFERENT. STOP LISTENING TO SARAH PALIN AND STOP HURTING THIS COUNTRY,.

All questions are not created equal.

Well I think it's funny how all the lil obama sheep vote down anything that speaks badly of their master. Read the goddamn bill and then talk, minions. Its no easy task, but hey if we cant read it I bet you half our congress and the president hasnt either.

Yes, the death panel is page 427 of the HR 3200 bill, and is very much a FACT.

Insurance companies already do this, guy. It would be run similarly to how other UHC countries do this, and you don't see old people being formally executed or lower lifespans in those countries.

There is literally not a single rational reason to think that this plan has "death panels," but then again conservatives aren't known for being rational people.

[HeatherC19]

Its not called a death panel, its a committee, one third of which is president appointed, and not one of which must be a doctor, and they decide terms, treatment, coverage, etc. Keep in mind obama's track record for appointing lobbyists and think, you know those appointees are gonna be from some rich med. company ANYWAYS, and the panel's main focus is finances... not your health. So no its not called a death panel but thats what it is.

[kuzmaniac05]

There are "death panels" in the bill, not worded that way, but thats what they are, a group of people gathered together to determine whether or not it is worth the money to give you treatment , or if its better to let you live out the rest of your days like a dying dog. And the parameters are your age 15-50 will be given the necessary treatments, but out of the age range you are considered useless to the economy and cant work, u wont be paying taxes, so they arent gonna give you free healthcare

Blame Obama
