Government Medicine Ethics
PoliGazette —
... Sarah Palin is making waves by saying that the Democrats’ mega-healthcare plan – which seems likely to pass the House at any moment – will give government the power of life and death over the elderly and infirm. Of course this is true. Of course it is. It’s simple common sense that whoever controls the money controls the process. That’s one of the things that’s wrong with government-run medicine: It puts control in hands of the one group who it should never be given to – government bureaucrats. ...

The Note —
... Are death panels back? "Sarah Palin rallied thousands of abortion opponents Friday night with a stark warning that the same philosophy that allows abortion rights could soon be invoked to allow the government to cut off health care for the elderly or children with special needs," Politico's Jonathan Martin reports.

The great dollar plot -- There's a conspiracy in my coin!
The Reaction —
... Palin's Wisconsin speech last Friday night wasn't recorded because forbidding all recording and communications devices has become a standard tactic in her war on sanity, but still it isn't necessary to have audio or video to stun the rational public with -- well, with her idiocy. At the "Right to Life" rally, writes Jonathan Martin at Politico, she dishonestly extrapolated the legality of abortion rights to the government's desire to cut off all health care to the elderly and children with birth defects just to see them die and re-iterated that euthanasia ...
