Fabulously lefty liberal Nobel prize economist Paul Krugman tells the lefty leaning panel on This Week that those “Death Panels” have been mischaracterized to scare people … but in fact in the long run will save us money on ineffective care.
He is of course referring to The Medicare Advisory Panel which has ultimate say in what types of procedures and drugs are covered, and oh by the way, can’t be challenged. Krugman doesn’t see too much wrong with this panel … because, hey, they’ll save us money.
First notice the qualifiers Krugman uses, willing to accept that the panel is right, and thus by denying ineffective treatment, it will save money.
PAUL KRUGMAN, NEW YORK TIMES: Think about people on the right. They’re simultaneously screaming, they’re going to send all of the old people to death panels and it’s not going to save any money. That’s a contradictory point of view.
TAPPER: Death panels would save money, theoretically.

I hope each one of these people face the "Death Panel" but you know these laws are not made for them, may God have mercy on their souls!
Mr. Krugman just put his name at the top of the list to head these Economic Savings Devises. How about them apples?
The only thing that scares a Leftist, is something that is absolutely benign…Joe Camel, for instance.
Evil people cannot even define evil, let along condemn it.
I read once that, EMTs are likely to be alcoholics and wear body armor, if their territory is a Democratic, Utopian, Mulch Pile, in the Inner Chitty.
Evil is Diabolical Confusion.
I wonder if conservatives.(Obama’s enemies) are on Obama’s ‘list of enemies’ to deal with at a later date.I so distrust this current administration that wouldn’t put it past them to deny any healthcare for them and their families.Obama will insist conservatism is an incurable disease and the death panels are the only alternative.
