With a hat tip to Mark Levin (see pages 109-110 of Liberty and Tyranny), Jeffrey Lord discusses Obamacare, death panels, deathcare in Oregon, and the case of Barbara Wagner.

He writes at American Spectator:

The infamous Section 1233 "death panel" has been pulled from the Senate version of the House ObamaCare Bill. Or so goes the tale as this is written.

Does this mean no more government rationing coming our way?

Naaaaah. This entire concept of ObamaCare is based on the principle of government rationing. The President has even jokingly talked about unplugging Grandma.

But "unplugging Grandma" is not much of a joke if you were Barbara Wagner. Who?

Barbara Wagner was a waitress. She drove a school bus. She worked as a home health care aide. Along the way as she worked her fingers to the bone she was married, had kids, was divorced, became a grandmother, then a great-grandmother.

Barbara also smoked cigarettes, and eventually this developed into lung cancer.

So far, so good and so bad. Good -- the jobs, the kids, the family. The bad -- the illness. Everyone doesn't smoke, everyone will die. Most will have a health issue somewhere.

Yet in death Barbara Wagner -- who died in the last year at 64 -- may well be the cross to the Dracula that is ObamaCare. [emphasis added]

Does Obamacare need a stake driven through its heart? Just remember, even if Dr. Gov't shows up with smiles, a white coat, and a teleprompter or two, it's still a vampire. "The next Barbara Wagner," Jeffrey Lord cautions, "could be you."

Instead of unplugging Grandma, let's unplug un-Constitutional tryanny seeking to impose itself upon the Barbara Wagners of the world. Somehow, that seems more American, more humane, and more like medicine.
