IOW: "Murder is Wrong, But I Get Why"

Froma Harrop wrote a column that starts out saying that murder is wrong, but then went into great length about the struggles her late husband had with UHC and how those delays and fights may have hastened his death.

So it's more "I won't kill these guys, but I am looking forward to reading their obits," I guess.

Isn't it a little ironic how running death panels for fun and profit, as UHC and other insureres have been doing, turned out to be rather unpopular?

To those who decide whose lives are saved and who gets shunted off to die: How is your job any different from the guys who did the sorting at the extermination camps? You don't look them in their faces and you don't wear a Luger and jackboots?

  1. Death Panels do exist, we know that now.

    The process denies care by delay then deferring the cost, that leads
    to probable outcomes that are worse, usually death. The panel is
    not a person or persons, its a process that is tied to profiit.

    Personally murder is wrong, they deserve sustained terror. Like the
    patient and family suffer waiting for that deceision.

    Eck!

  2. Is violence the answer? Depends on the question.

  3. Maybe if every now and then a person denied coverage did this, they’d be a little more reticent to deny, deny, deny…

  4. Oldie but not so goodie. "If the government runs the health care with that socialism medicine then they will have death panels deciding who will live or die."

  5. If someone uses violence to change the behavior of a group of people, well, isn't that the definition of terrorism?
    When Obama and others argued for Obamacare, many pointed out how poorly American health care accessibility compared with that of other developed nations; those arguments are still valid. Those arguments must be addressed by politicians, but not by plying them with gifts of mountains of money.
