From World Nut Daily: One big 'Death Panel' and horrible conditions for the elderly!

Freepers and their fear mongering bullshit.

It's already happening in Europe

In Europe, governments already ration health care, just as Obama plans to do here. The older and sicker people are, the less care they get.

In England, for example, bureaucrats determine a patient's eligibility for health care using the QALY system (quality-adjusted life years). They divide the cost of treatment by the number of "quality" years the patient is expected to live. Older, sicker patients are expected to live fewer "quality" years, so why bother treating them at all? On this basis, British elders are routinely denied treatment for cancer, heart disease and other deadly illnesses.

Many die in filthy, overcrowded hospitals or nursing homes, rife with pestilence, including the deadly, antibiotic-resistant "superbugs" Clostridium difficile and MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). Each year in the U.K., nearly three times more people die from hospital infections than from traffic accidents.

In the nation where Florence Nightingale invented modern nursing 150 years ago, cleanliness has become a lost art. British newspapers reported in 2007 that patients in government hospitals were told to "go in their beds" when they had diarrhea.

[The Wielding Truth]

because its not funny.

[The Wielding Truth]

3. It seems like National Lampoon or Mad Mag. How could anyone

read this and not laugh? It's got to be a satire. No one would ever believe that it is credible.

How could they not be called out for such blatant lies?

If you say this is real, I feel sorry for anyone who uses it as a source.
