The Death Panels Are Real

The State of Oregon refused to pay for a woman's cancer treatment, instead telling her they'd pay for assisted suicide.

The head of the death panel admitted they have to consider the costs involved.

Death panels are not just a political fetish of conservatives. We will have to have a serious conversation about death in this nation. We can't afford the unlimited demands of the elderly to extend their lives for a few more months at the cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars. At some point, we have to say: "That's enough. It's time to let nature take its course and just die with peace."

Key indicators are terms like "death panels" to describe medical decisions on patient care, and questioning regarding the cost of health care without asking if this was a factor in the decision as is always is the case w. private health insurance.

Relief of pain at end of life is not euthanasia.

At what cost do those who put profit over patients force us to pay, at what cost of pain, suffering and death when their profits are foremost; and how do we hold such people accountable.

Publicly funded doctors should make medical decisions, not accountants

This "news" item is likely generated by the pharmaceutical company referenced and private insurance companies who oppose public health insurance. It is in their financial interest to exploit patient fear for private profit.

this is old news. This story is from either 07 or 08, this lady died in 08, and this is a result of public healthcare in Oregon that went into effect in 1993
