The Senate Backs out Death Panels from ObamaCare

I'm glad the Senate is doing the things that the House should have done long ago.

Yet it has created such a furor that senators decided to excluded it from their version of health care legislation. Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, said in a statement that they "dropped it entirely because of the way they could be misinterpreted and implemented incorrectly."

I'm not sure why this plan needs to cover this discussion at all. People should just pay for a normal doctor visit when they are ready to talk about this stuff. The idea of having this discussion every 5 years is what people were objecting to.
