Sarah Palin’s Death Panels: In BOTH Reid & Pelsoi’s Health Care Bills (Pages Provided)

Dingy Harry Reid slipped in a provision into the health care legislation prohibiting future Congresses from changing any regulations imposed on Americans by the Independent Medical Advisory Boards, which are commonly called the Death Panels. It is section 3403 from pages 1,000 to 1,0007 of the Reid substitute. 

There is established an independent board to be known as the ‘Independent Medicare Advisory Board:  

PURPOSE.—It is the purpose of this section to, in accordance with the following provisions of this section, reduce the per capita rate of growth in Medicare spending.

• By requiring the Chief Actuary of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to determine in each year to which this section applies the projected per capita growth rate under Medicare for the second year following the determination year.

• If the projection for the implementation year exceeds the target growth rate for that year, by requiring the Board to develop and submit during the first year following the determination year this a proposal containing recommendations to reduce the Medicare per capita growth rate to the extent required by this section by requiring the Secretary to implement such proposals unless Congress enacts legislation pursuant to this section.

Funny how the liberals at Politifact (Death Panels: Lie of the Year) or the St. Petersburg Times are so blinded by their 

liberalism they actually do no fact checking.  On top of that they miss the underlining characteristics of all government 

agencies and the services they provide.  All governments are incredibly inefficient, wasteful and always provide lower quality 

compared to the private sector faced with competition.  To lower costs they are incapable of becoming efficient and will 

always resort to reducing services.  Government health care is no different but our lives are directly affected. Death Panels 

have been in every health care bill which includes dozens of advisory boards, panels and committees with the responsibility 

of reducing costs at our expense. 

But what can you say, like any gullible fool who thought for even a milli-second that Obama is qualified or worthy to be 

president has severe judgement problems.  So when those that voted for and supported the disaster Obama speak of Sarah 

Palin all we need to do is simply apply the opposite.

The Pelsoi Health Care Bill is also riddled with various bureaucratically appointed advisory boards, committees and panels  with the duties of cutting costs:
