There you go again, Ed.

You make fun of Sarah Palin for her "Death Panel" statements, just
after you admit that those death panels already exist - "They're
called Medical Directors in the insurance industry."

The federal government wants to be in the health care business and
will be before too long - anyone who thinks the public option has been
forgotten simply isn't paying attention. And when we do get there, we
will have bureaucrats making the same decisions that are made by the
insurance companies' Medical Directors. There will always have to be
someone to say "no", and sometimes that will be to an expensive
procedure that might prolong a life.

So, which is it? Was Sarah on target, or will the taxpayers be
footing the bill for every possible procedure and drug that might even
slightly benefit a patient?

You can't have it both ways.
