Looks like there are two.
Rep. Jack Kingston from Georgia also said Palin is full of sh*t.

The durable power of attorney section of the bill is supported by nearly everyone including the AARP.
There is one group, Right to Life, I think, that supports the idea, but doesn't support the bill as worded because they are afraid seniors could be pressured into signing something like a "no resuscitation" clause.
This idea of "death panels" being legislated is clearly a scare tactic.

Health Alert | Rationing Health Care
Jul 22, 2009
by John Goodman
The Obama Administration is proposing a new federal health board to decide whether health care services are "effective" or "appropriate."
When he first advanced this idea in Critical, Obama health care guru, Tom Daschle, pointed to the British National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) as the model.
NICE has adopted a rule of thumb that health expenditures are inappropriate if they involve spending more than $22,000 to save six months of life.
As a result, British cancer patients do not have access to drugs that are routinely available in the United States.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 25,000 British cancer patients die prematurely every year because of these restrictions.
If health care is to be rationed, what's the right way to do it? Zeke Emanuel (who is also the brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel) wrote an entire article on this subject in the Lancet on January 31, 2009. Emanuel advocated allocating health resources in order to maximize collective life years. Suppose a 25-year-old and a 65-year-old have a life threatening disease. Since the 25-year-old has many more potential years of life ahead of him, he should receive preferential treatment, says Emanuel. He justifies denying care to elderly patients in the following way:
The complete lives system discriminates against older people…. Unlike allocation by sex or race, allocation by age is not invidious discrimination; every person lives through different life stages rather than being a single age. Even if 25-year-olds receive priority over 65-year-olds, everyone who is 65 years now was previously 25 years.
There's more. In a different article written more than 10 years ago for the Hastings Center Report, Emanuel said health services should not be guaranteed to "individuals who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens." He continues, "An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia."

Wake up. Death Panels or Life Panels are for real.
It's already happening in the US with failed Universal Health Care experiments here in the states and across the globe!

AARP is an unreliable source. Rand is clearly in Obama's pocket. He uses AARP dues to finance ads to support the healthcare.
aTTENTION: Request a refund of your membership in AARP. AARP is now a front for Obama.
Anything AARP endorsed is suspect.

Exactly. I read the bill and there are many disturbing things that are open to wide interpretation.
When it comes down to it, Obama's Health Care guru has said all along that Euthanasia is necessary for the elderly, terminally ill, handicapped, etc. so what do you think is going to be implemented?
Life Squads? Better bring a bag full o' money if you want a "Yes" vote!
