Sarah Palin has been vindicated by the reigning progressive economist at the New York Times. Paul Krugman had this to say this weekend:
If they were going to do reality therapy, they should have said, OK, look, Medicare is going to have to decide what it’s going to pay for. And at least for starters, it’s going to have to decide which medical procedures are not effective at all and should not be paid for at all. In other words, it should have endorsed the panel that was part of the health care reform. If it’s not even — if the commission isn’t even brave enough to take on the death panels people, then it’s doing no good at all. It’s not educating the public. It’s not telling people about the kinds of choices that need to be made.
Get it…bureacrats on boards will decide what medical precedure will be allowed. But wait…the progressive line is that death panels were a scare tactics created by right-wing nuts.
