Death Panels and the Public Option

Triage (pronounced /ˈtriːɑːʒ/) is a process of prioritizing patients
based on the severity of their condition. This rations patient
treatment efficiently when resources are insufficient for all to be
treated immediately.
ObamaCare would have a commission - like the Federal Reserve's
Open Market Committee - folks like the National Health
Commissioner, the Health Czar, the Special Assistant to the
President for Health, the Secretary of HHS. These folks will
perform triage just like Kate Beckinsale, the pretty nurse in Pearl
Harbor, who used lipstick to designate whether care would be
useless. M meant "give them morphine to keep them comfortable
until they die."
Personally I would like my doctor to make that life/death decision!
The Federal Reserve is being blamed for much of the current fiscal
crisis for lowering their interest rate too low and doing nothing
about the bubble their actions caused. The National Health
Commission will be another mistake.
