Brain Surgeon Confirms ObamaCare Rations Care, Has Death Panels

From Eye on the World:
Sarah Palin was exactly right about death panels as this caller attests. Tonight, a brain surgeon called into Mark Levin's radio show and said that he had just recently visited Washington DC to review Obama's new health care plan for advanced neurosurgical care for patients over 70 years old, issued by HHS. The plan, that included "ethics panels", stated that if your were over 70 years old and on government supported healthcare and you visited an emergency room, you get "comfort care":

Here's an expert from the call:

Caller: Basically what the document stated was that if you were over 70 and you'd come into an emergency room and you're on government supported health care, that you'd get "comfort care".

Mark Levin: Wait a minute...what's the source for this?

Caller: This is Obama's new health care plan for advanced neurosurgical care.

Mark Levin: And who issued this? HHS?

Caller: Yes. And basically they don't call them patients, they call them units. And instead of -- they call it "ethics panels" or "ethics committees", would get together and meet and decide where the money would go for hospitals, and basically for patients over 70 years of age, that advanced neurosurgical care was not generally indicated.

Mark Levin: So it's generally going to be denied?

Caller: Yes, absolutely. ...If someone comes in at 70 years of age with a bleed in their brain, I can promise you I'm not going to get a bunch of administrators together on an ethics panel at 2 in the morning to decide that I'm OK to do surgery.

OMG!

Good thing that Mr. AOW had his brain hemorrhage at age 59. But if another such event occurs and he's over 70...
