They made fun of Gov. Palin when she suggested that ObamaCare included a provision for what she called –‘death panels’. But this is what happens when health care is put into the hands of a bunch of government bureaucrats with limited budgets. The VA already has a booklet that doctors are supposed to use in discussing end-of-life issues with their VA patients that may suffer from ‘quality of life’ issues.

Here is a video of Chris Wallace of Fox News discussing the VA program and the booklet: “Your Life, Your Choices” with Wall Street Journal’s Jim Towey and later debating the program with VA’s Tammy Duckworth:

Chris Wallace does an exceptional job here asking Duckworth to explain and defend the indefensible. Apparently doctors use the book to discuss end-of-life decisions with veterans with a variety of conditions—some of which are not terminal but face a diminished ‘quality of life’.

The major question here is—should the government be involved in ‘encouraging’ VA patients to seek a premature end to their life?
