Is it any wonder Sarah Palin can't be taken seriously?
The fact that she commends Michele Bachmann in her statement is another red flag as to her intellectual density, although it fits into the right-wing fear-mongering party mould. Palin and Bachmann are cut from the same warped cloth. Anyone who listens to either of them and believes what they say is most likely uneducated, gullible, and predisposed against President Obama in the first place. It has naught to do with solutions or working together as Americans. Frankly, Palin's divisive nature and lack of intellect leads me to believe she has no idea what it is to be an American.
There is no such thing as a "death panel" in President Obama's healthcare plan, but Palin and her ilk continue to press the issue despite the facts.
An explanation of "end of life" care in the President's plan:
"This provision, which has been supported by the AARP, would allow senior citizens access to a professional medical counselor who will provide them with any information they might need about preparing a living will, providing medical power of attorney, and—if they are seeking this kind of advice—end of life decisions. These counseling sessions are not mandatory; they are simply made available to those who wish to use the service because they are unable to receive the information from another source. This means that if a senior is seeking such advice and guidance, Medicare would cover it. This measure would allow Medicare to compensate doctors for discussing with their patients the most difficult care choices—those that happen at the end of life. It would actually empower individuals to make the best decisions for themselves and their families, and better ensure that their wishes will be followed."
