Top Democrat Signs on GOP Plan to Repeal ObamaCare Death Panel…
I’ve lost track, is the Obama regime still claiming these panels don’t exist?
(Daily Caller) — Republicans have new a Democratic ally in their attempts to repeal a part of Obamacare as a new, higher-profile member from the other side of the aisle signed onto a bill to eliminate a board that would set Medicare reimbursement rates.
Rep. Allyson Schwartz, Pennsylvania Democrat and vice-chair of the New Democrat Coalition, has asked her colleagues to support legislation that would repeal Obamacare’s Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB).
Rep. Phil Roe, Tennessee Republican, is sponsoring the bill that would repeal IPAB, which he told TheDC was the “real death panel,” as compared to “end-of-life counseling” provisions in Obamacare that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin once deemed “death panels.”
“This one is the real baby right here — and most people missed this,” Roe told TheDC last month. “What everybody was talking about, when you saw Sarah Palin and so forth, what they were talking about these advanced directives where you sit down and there’s sort of mandatory counseling — and Medicare paid for it. This IPAB got missed — and it’s the real death panel.”

Do I see a move here for Democrats to take their party back from the Progressives? Is it possible that there is a Democrat left that is not a Progressive? It will be interesting to see how these play out.
As for the “death panels”, you would have to be an absolute fool not to see that ObamaCare will result in serious health care rationing; for every one.
Sarah was right? Damn, the sky is blue. Should make all three major network news shows right?
A chink in the armor, maybe?
May be a few Democrats are wanting to survive the coming election in 2012.
Hilarious….she fears losing her seat…she won’t be the only one.
bho has the nerve to demagogue about Rs wanting to kill children and old folks.
the “real death panel,” as compared to “end-of-life counseling” provisions in Obamacare that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin once deemed “death panels.”
He’s got that backwards, Sarah Palin was explicitly talking about rationing care as a “death panel”, not end of life counseling.
“He’s got that backwards, Sarah Palin was explicitly talking about rationing care as a “death panel”, not end of life counseling.”
Exactly. And which piece of legislation actually had that? Was it the stimulus, the student loan bill, or something else entirely? All their puzzle-box legislation needs to be repealed, not just Obamacare.
Obama calls it the sustainable unicorn farming panel.
Top Dhimirat? High profile? Really? In what universe?
Doesn’t matter. The Dhimis are going to take some serious hits in 2012 just like they did in 2010. Look for more Dhimis to redefine themselves before 2012 rolls in.
Of course Palin was right. We been saying that all along. Now the Congress and the Senate are just now comming up to speed? Gee that’s surprising. (Sarc)
