Didn't the Republicans start using the 'Death Panels' term over Obamacare?

I believe Caribou Barbie started that and they ran with it.

What the holy fuck are they doing now? It seems to me the Republican senate are the real death panels since this plan of theirs will surely result in lives lost.

They always seem to project themselves when they open their mouths.

GAWD I detest them.

With pretty boy Paul Ryan's draconian and savage cuts to Medicare in his budget proposal, we have to ask ourselves: Is America still beautiful without Medicare?

Republican Death Panels

However, now that the Republican Party is in complete control of our federal government, and these power-hungry politicians are anxious to start giving massive amounts of money and power to the elite special interests that enabled them to purchase their political offices, we have a new Republican proposal from Paul Ryan to replace the Affordable Care Act.

And...guess what? Paul Ryan and his Republican supporters now want to institute changes to our health insurance system that will give more money to the rich who don’t need it, while dramatically reducing health insurance benefits for the middle class and the poor who need it more than ever before. And every major independent group that has looked at Ryan’s hell care proposal have said that it would not only reduce the amount of money to help people purchase health insurance, especially for poorer and older Americans, but that it would take health insurance away from more than 10 million people.

So...what would you call a group of people that have decided, cynically, callously and cold-heartedly, to take health insurance away from those who need it the most just to survive?

The phrase “death panel” certainly seems accurate to me to describe that nasty , disgusting and evil group of people like Paul Ryan and his co-conspirators who want to take health care coverage from Americans.

The 115th Republican Congress will go down in history as this country’s ultimate Death Panel if they decide to enact Ryan’s pathetic excuse for a healthcare bill. And each different committee of that Congress that approves such a bill will also constitute nothing less than a death panel.
