Subject: RE: BS: Nationalized Healthcare, good? bad?
The depths to which those who oppose health care reform will sink seems to have no limits. They have turned a provision which provides funding for end of life counseling (explaining the options in terms of life sustaining measures, hospice care, etc.) into "pressuring senior citizens to end their lives" so they won't take up public resources. More info HERE . Sarah Palin fuels the fire by accusing Obama of wanting to set up a "Death Panel". Here's a link to the Huffington Post which includes some commentary.

The sad, sad part about it is that many of the people who believe this nonsense are the ones who would benefit from universal health care.
