A Death Panel By Any Other Name…

Posted by Harvey on August 13, 2009 at 10:00 am

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:

    Committee for the Advancement of Long-Lived Citizens
    End of Life Postponment Panel
