Like most of Europe, the various health bills stipulate that Congress will arbitrarily decide how much to spend on health care for seniors every year—and then invest an unelected board with extraordinary powers to dictate what is covered and how it will be paid for. White House budget director Peter Orszag calls this Medicare commission "critical to our fiscal future" and "one of the most potent reforms."
.......
Worse, it makes little room for medical innovations. The commission is mandated to go after "sources of excess cost growth," meaning treatments that are too expensive or whose coverage will boost spending. If researchers find a pricey treatment for Alzheimer's in 2020, that might be banned because it would add new costs and bust the global budget. Or it might decide that "Maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller,"

that's already how insurance is, dumbass. hey lets take a theoretical situation. Okay so like there's this guy that was turned retarded when he was 12 by an angry car. 45 years in the future he is a happy old retarded dude who pretty much looks the same. Anyway, he applies to have this new fangled brain time travel operation where they send your brain back in time and it tells the old, younger brain to go forward into the future and be a young vibrant nonretarded brain.
however this surgery costs 340817508125789123475927592594276597246524 dollars and even with inflation that is still more money than anybody in the world has (ALSO THERES THE RISK THAT THE ENTIRE WORLD COULD BE DEstROYED).
but what the fuck whats with these death panels telling poor jimmy that he can't have his brain time travels? death panel jerk offs.
So basically this is your suggestion for how obama should run healthcare and probably also the guberment:
"okay I'm president obama and here's my plan for running the country with my health care plan fully endorsed by thecoolinator of i-mockery.com/forum (check the philosophy forum guys) first of all we'll approve any treatment especially new experimental things which cost a lot, might not even work and could even have a high risk of death. That's a good deal for everybody. Oh, also there's infinite money, yes infinite money. Can i get that for myself too? Thanks. Hmm also no standards or board of directors or anything which develops ideas and strategies for the benefit of this organization; that sounds too "Death panelish" to me. Wait we're sort of devloping ideas right now aren't we? Alright guys we gotta close this death panel down."
OMG i just realized that the SENATE is already a DEATH PANEL... iu think its too late to stop them! there's death panels everywhere man what do we DOOOOOOOOOO
ugh seriously this argument makes me want to vomit.
Who said the guy spend $2 Mil? The guy released it himself. Why would he spend that kind of money only to release it himself. And the whole birth certificate thing is a crap shoot anyway. The guy is a legally born citizen. Get over it. Why would the lefties go through all the trouble of putting him in when they could have gotten any number of other members of their party in to "fulfill their leftist agenda"?
