Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, Health Care Style Part 1 of whatever

Let's take a look at some of the lies being told about health care, mmkay? (Thank you to MoveOn.Org for the facts about the lies about health care. They are where I'm getting some of the information)

I'm going to start with number one, the "death panels".

Here's an example of a typical DP claim:

"I heard that President Obama wants to go around and kill my grandma! These death panels are mandatory, and you have to choose how you get killed! I ain't gonna go along with that!"

WRONG!

If you read Section 1233 of the reform legislation, there's mention of "Advanced Care Planning Consultation" (here's a link to the section in question. No mention of death panels here, sadly, just lots of parliamentary and legislative talk: http://s3.moveon.org/pdfs/hr3200-sec1233.pdf)

Just to quickly summarize, all this would do is allow people to say what sorts of things they want done in case they die, and allow for the family to understand their wishes. It's supposed to make things easier on everyone, and is not supposed to push people to death or anything like that at all.

I mean, seriously? If the government wanted us to die, they'd deregulate everything hazardous, force McDonalds to have a "minimum"fat content, and put radioactive material in toothpaste.

Oh, and then announce the UN as the one-world government.

I'll continue this...or will I?
