"Better Off Taking the Pain Killer"

I've been looking for this clip for a while so I'm glad I finally found it. Thanks to "A Red Voice in a Blue State" for posting this.



Now, anyone who claims that death panels are a ridiculous notion is either fooling himself or is a liar. Government bodies deciding who is better off not getting the surgery and taking the pain killer? Sounds like a death panel to me.

Oh c'mon MDP! You only look at the negative! At least she'll be comfortable at the "end of her life". Morphine drips do that to people. :)

I need a pain killer every time I have to listen to this guy talk.

And seriously. Why is it society's responsibility to come together and decide what is reasonable for the elderly?
