In his syndicated column this week, George Will writes about the "death panels" embedded within the Obamacare legislation. (Yes, they really are in there, my words not George's.) What most disturbed me in Will's column was the fact that the decisions of the panels can be overturned only by a vote by Congress. And Congress can't vote to get rid of the panels before 2017. I'm speechless.
When, exactly, did our republic end? I don't think they delivered my paper that day.
Update: IPAB is the proper name for the panel, and it stands for The Independent Payment Advisory Board. National Review reports that there is growing, bipartisan opposition to IPAB.
