Regulated To Death By ObamaCare?

Investors.com  "A post at the time by former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on her Facebook page fueled opposition to funding end-of-life counseling by discussing openly what many privately fear and something we have written about before — that end-of-life counseling and efforts to measure cost-effectiveness of treatment will combine in a perfect storm to ration care in a way that lets government bureaucrats decide who lives and who dies.

""The America I know and love," Palin wrote, "is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society' whether they are worthy of health care.

"Such a system is downright evil."

Has Regulation Put An End To Rule Of Law?  Thomas Sowell:  "The Constitution of the United States begins with the words "We the people."  But neither the Constitution nor "we the people" will mean anything if politicians and judges can continue to do end runs around both.

"Bills passed too fast for anyone to read them are blatant examples of these end runs. But last week, another of these end runs appeared in a different institution when the medical "end of life consultations" rejected by Congress were quietly enacted through bureaucratic fiat by administrators of Medicare."
