Death Panels? We Don’t Need No Stinking Death Panels! « NewsReal Blog: "One of the common counters by liberals to conservative arguments against government health care goes something like this: “I’ve never talked to a veteran who wants to give up his VA health care.”
Ignore, for a moment, the idea that for many liberals only the first half of that sentence applies. Let’s take them at their word that VA health care would be the model for the “public option.”
As Jim Towey, former Director of Faith Based Initiatives, wrote in the Wall Street Journal Friday, and told Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday, the VA already uses a manual that encourages veterans to consider if “Life is not worth living,” for things like living in a nursing home, needing a wheelchair, or being a financial burden to one’s family.
As Towey wrote: “When the government can steer vulnerable individuals to conclude for themselves that life is not worth living, who needs a death panel?”"
