Health care bill worse than you think, "AAHCA of 2009 SUCKS"

I have finished reading America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009, also known as ObamaCare or soon to be KennedyCare.
The main contentions, loss of choice, "death panels", rationing, are all real.
The one point I would like to highlight is the so called "death panels."
It does exist in this bill. Obama is just outright lying when he says there is no such thing. Just ask Barbara Wagner of Oregon.

When Barbara Wagner's lung cancer returned, the Oregon woman was prescribed a chemotherapy drug, Tarceva, that could lengthen her life and provide comfort. Then, she was notified that the Oregon Health Plan wouldn't cover the cancer drug, but would cover palliative (comfort) care, including a doctor-assisted suicide.



“Treatment of advanced cancer that is meant to prolong life, or change the course of this disease, is not a covered benefit of the Oregon Health Plan,” said the unsigned letter Wagner received from LIPA, the Eugene company that administers the Oregon Health Plan in Lane County.

The government-run health plan in the state of Oregon refused Barbara Wagner's treatment. The government-run plan did offer her government-assisted suicide.

Ms. Wagner isn't the first Oregon cancer patient to be offered a doctor-assisted suicide in place of treatment. Randy Stroup, who has prostate cancer, applied to the Oregon Health Plan for assistance and was told the Plan wouldn't cover chemo, but would cover a physician-assisted suicide. Randy fought back by appealing the Plan's decision and won. His chemotherapy is now being covered, and he hopes to gain more time with his five grandchildren than he would have had without chemo.

This is the "death panel" that Sarah Palin warned about. Obama talks of cutting the cost of medicine, this is how Obama will do it, DEATH PANELS.

Barbara Watson is lucky, the pharm company is cutting through the government-run health care maze and just providing it for Ms. Watson. The government told Barbara to die.
I could go on and on about the truths in AAHCA of 2009 but you get the point. Obama, the media, union thugs,and ignorant liberals are all wrong about this bill.
Sarah Palin, the American people, and browndog are all correct with respect to what this bill would do to America.
