wow. since your point (c) is known to be false i'm not going to bother with the rest.your entire post is so much made up bullshit.
no government discussed in this thread is putting anyone to death - unless you count the death penalty, and then yes, our government does that.
your second paragraph just has absolutely no basis in reality at all.
i'm not sure what thread you were reading, but it wasn't this one.
"...no government discussed in this thread is putting anyone to death."
Perhaps....
...but, there is this:
a) "[Democrat] GOV. LAMM ASSERTS ELDERLY, IF VERY ILL, HAVE 'DUTY TO DIE'
DENVER, March 28 Elderly people who are terminally ill have a ''duty to die and get out of the way'' instead of trying to prolong their lives by artificial means, Gov. Richard D. Lamm of Colorado said Tuesday."

b) Democrat Tom Daschle, original nominee to head the Health and Human Services Department, and says health-care reform will not be pain free. Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them.

c) A key administration figure committed to cost cutting is Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a health policy advisor in the Office of Management and Budget and brother of Rahm Emanuel, the president's chief of staff wants doctors to look beyond the needs of their own patient and consider social justice. They should think about whether the money being spent on their patient could be better spent elsewhere.

d) ...slipped into the emergency stimulus legislation was substantial funding for a Federal Council on Comparative Effectiveness Research, comparative effectiveness research is generally code for limiting care based on the patient's age. The CER would identify (this is language from the draft report on the legislation) medical "items, procedures, and interventions" that it deems insufficiently effective or excessively expensive. They "will no longer be prescribed" by federal health programs. Are you thinking seniors? George F. Will - How the GOP Should Measure the Stimulus
The Democrat desire is evident.
also, gov. lamm's quote is from 30 years ago.
Nothing I ever post is false.
