Death Panels Have a New Name: Care Pathways

Sarah Palin was, of course, an idiot to suggest that socialized medicine inevitably leads to bureaucratically administered euthanasia. From the (UK) Daily Mail:
Hospitals may be withholding food and drink from elderly patients so they die quicker to cut costs and save on bad spaces, leading doctors have warned.
Thousands of terminally ill people are placed on a 'care pathway' every year to hasten the ends of their lives.
But in a letter to the Daily Telegraph, six doctors who specialise in elderly care said hospitals across the UK could be using the controversial practice to ease the pressure on resources.
Boy, is that Sarah Palin an idiot or what?

Sarah Palin isn't an idiot, but I have serious doubts about Justice Roberts.

Re: Death Panels Have a New Name: Care Pathways
Upon further review I don't believe that Palin nor Roberts lack mental facility, I just think that the former is courageous and the latter is a coward.

"Care Pathways"? Has there ever been a more Orwellian term for Euthanasia?

They've managed to come up with something that sounds even LESS like something the government should be involved in, and more like something that needs to be left to families, loved ones.

The last time, it took only a few years of propaganda to persuade enough people to re-classify what had been a class of human beings. How long will it take this time?

Spot on, sir. The media assassination of her was disgusting. She sees through the lies and tells it like it is. They hate that.

My husband, a disabled NAVY vet is on a "care pathway" through the VA. They should rename it "Minefield in the Dark".

You know that is *!@#$% BRILLIANT! Romney or a PAC needs to do ad campaign based on Julia getting tracked for the "Care Pathway" under Obamacare. They could set it up on the web where you move through it like a choose your own adventure, but each selection leads to Logan's Run's Carousel....
