Obama's Death Panels, In His Own Words

Well, since he brought it up, it's worth reminding people that Barack Hussein Obama himself has advocated rationing healthcare to the elderly.



So, who should make these decisions? A panel of experts, according to Obama.

A New York Times interviewer asked Barack Hussein Obama how we should decide who gets health care and who doesn't.

"I think that there is going to have to be a conversation that is guided by doctors, scientists, ethicists. And then there is going to have to be a very difficult democratic conversation that takes place. It is very difficult to imagine the country making those decisions just through the normal political channels. And that’s part of why you have to have some independent group that can give you guidance."

And Obama makes it clear here where he sees potential savings in health care.

“That’s where I think you just get into some very difficult moral issues,” he said in the April 14 interview. “The chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health- care bill out here.”
