Palin returns to 'death panels'
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/11/09/palin-returns-to-death-panels/
(CNN) - Sarah Palin is returning to the two words widely credited with
helping to spur angry

town-halls on health care reform over the summer: "death panels."

In a Facebook post over the weekend, the former Alaska governor
launched into a torrent of

criticism about the recently-passed House health care reform bill,
including the notion

"bureaucratic panels" will ultimately decide who lives and who dies.

"We had been told there were no 'death panels' in the bill either,"
Palin wrote in the post. "But

look closely at the provision mandating bureaucratic panels that will
be calling the shots

regarding who will receive government health care."

Palin initially backed the death panel claim early last August in
comments that sparked many of

her supporters, and critics of the health care reform bill as a whole,
to publicly express their

disapproval at heated town-hall forums across the country.

The words "death panel" are nowhere to be found in the bill, but the
phrase soon became among the

most searched on Google, and President Obama directly rebutted Palin's
claim a week later.

In her recent Facebook post, Palin didn't offer further evidence of
the establishment of death

panels. The non-partisan FactCheck.org has refuted her argument.

"The fact remains that the bill wouldn't require patients to receive
counseling sessions, nor

would it require a doctor to offer one. Rather, it modifies Section
1861(s)2 of the Social

Security Act, defining what services Medicare will pay for. So if a
patient receives a counseling

session from a doctor or health care practitioner, he or she doesn't
have to pay for it �

Medicare will," the organization wrote.
