Mike: Seen Mom? Kim: She went down to some anti-"death panel" rally. Mike: What? That's still around? There's never been a death panel! Kim: So I said. But she had it on "authority." Mike: Great. Now I have to go make sure she doesn't get into trouble. Kim: Better hurry - she seemed pretty fired up. Elderly: Hell no, we won't go! Hell no, we won't go!
To save money the government eliminated the panel and went with a single bureaucrat with no medical training to give the go/no-go for any medical procedure recommended by your doctor independent of your insurance company. Your doctor could end up in jail if proceeds against the decision of the bureaucrat. That is Obama Care for you.
