A Death Panel By Any Other Name…
Obama says there will be no “Death Panels”.
So I’m wondering… is he saying that the government won’t start denying people care based on cost vs. expected productive value to society, or is he just saying they won’t call this cacophany of bean-counting bureaucrats a “Death Panel”?
I suspect the latter, so I expect the final Obamacare bill will empower its decision-making assemblage under a different name.
Some possibilities:
![]() |
Caskets for Clunkers
Reaper Review Board
Cessation Commission
Termination Task Force
Curtains Committee
Departure Directorate
Burial Board
Casualty Cabinet
Funeral Forum
Eradication Convocation
Mortality Moderators
Grave Group
Monty Python Parrot Panel
If you were Obama, what you name YOUR “Death Panel”?

If I was President Obama, I’d call it the “Honored Citizens Freedom of Personal Choice Commitee”. Then I’d apoint a “Czar” for it. Not just any Czar, but one who is a punk kid who’s only accomplishments is he went to a great school that mommy and daddy paid for, he worked for my campaign or one of my compettitors who eventualy endorsed me, Doesn’t pay his taxes, and used to tourture small neigborhood animals with weed wackers as a child.
Only a person who has no experience, no responcibilty, no accountability, and is sadistic as hell could help guide the elderly into what’s best for the country. But That’s Obama. Personally I’m not a Socialist.

In keeping with the Owellian model that this Chicago Cartel has used in coming up with names to disguise their various thuggery, the following might be more likely, and will be how we recognize said panel:

Surely you’ve noticed that all his new offices are given Orwellian names, right? It has to be something like the “Health Preservation Committee” — preserving everybody else’s health by offing the people too expensive to care for.
