Co-Sponsor of “Death Panel” Provision Chosen for GOP Rebuttal to Obama Speech
Rep. Charles Boustany (R-LA), who will be offering the GOP response to President Obama’s healthcare speech tonight, isn’t just a birther. He also wants to euthanize all of our old people and put Sarah Palin’s son Trig in front of a “death panel.” Don’t believe me? Boustany actually wrote the legislation that set conservatives off in the first place:
One of Boustany’s most notable proposals has received bipartisan support and was included in health care legislation: a plan to permit Medicare to pay for voluntary end-of-life counseling. Boustany, in fact, was an original co-sponsor of this provision. Republicans were the ones who objected to this bipartisan proposal, saying it would establish “death panels” ready to “pull the plug on grandma.”
