“Euthanasia tightens its grip on the West”

I remember years ago when via all the unrest over “Obama Care” there were also serious discussions about going for total socialized healthcare.  One of the the arguments against it was that the goverment would ultimately have “death panels” where they would decide on whether you got treatment or not based on a number of factors beyond your control and just because you wanted medical care did not mean you got it.  At the time Democrats/liberals called it insane and fear mongering and all the rest.  And in my opinion, just like many other times that was to invalidate real concerns, they end up coming in true.

Why people think entrusting the goverment with healthcare is a good idea I have no clue.  There is nothing the goverment does that it does well in a positive sense.  Nothing.  In fact if you look to the causes for the insane costs of health care in the US most of them are goverment related.  And if you want to talk about other countries with socialized medicine and how well that works then I urge you to talk to folks who live there.
