Well, one thing you can't deny about Liberals...

...they don't learn from their mistakes.


Understandable...as they make so very many of 'em.

But, specifically, recall how they screeched and wailed when Palin exposed the supposed cost cutting endeavor, the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB).

We on the Right explained to our simple friends that the only way ObamaCare would cut costs was to ration healthcare, forbid the use of drugs- no matter how efficacious- if they were costly.

We connected the dots for 'em, and explained that the result would be deaths.
So..."Death Panels.'


Now, from the Hill, not only do they use the correct term, 'Death Panels,' but divulge that even Democrats are catching on, and objecting.





1. "ObamaCare ‘death panel’ faces growing opposition from Democrats

2. ObamaCare’s cost-cutting board — memorably called a “death panel” by Sarah Palin — is facing growing opposition from Democrats who say it will harm people on Medicare.
[What did we tell you?]




3. Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean drew attention to the board designed to limit Medicare cost growth when he called for its repeal...
[Exactly how dumb do you feel now, Libs?]

4. Dean was quickly criticized...
[By whom? Same dolts who went after Palin]

5. But the former Vermont governor is not the only Democrat looking to kill the panel.

6. ....Democrats over the past three months has signed on to bills repealing the board’s powers, including Sen. Mark Pryor (Ark.) and Reps. Ron Barber (Ariz.), Ann Kirkpatrick (Ariz.), Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.) and Elizabeth Esty (Conn.).
[Rats and sinking ships come to mind....]

7....the board would limit care for Medicare patients.
[Again? We were right...you were wrong.]




8. Public awareness of the board shot up last year when Palin called it a “death panel,” connecting the IPAB to her previous attacks on a proposal to encourage end-of-life planning in the Affordable Care Act.
[Bet that really hurt, huh? Turns out Palin's not the dummy....you are!]

a. “Though I was called a liar for calling it like it is, many of these accusers finally saw that ObamaCare did in fact create a panel of faceless bureaucrats who have the power to make life and death decisions about healthcare funding,” Palin wrote on Facebook.

9. ....the board would ultimately ration care for Medicare patients.
[Bingo!]
“The IPAB will be able to stop certain treatments its members do not favor by simply setting rates to levels where no doctor or hospital will perform them,” Dean wrote in The Wall Street Journal.

10. The Affordable Care Act prevents the IPAB from making recommendations that would directly ration care. But critics say reducing provider reimbursements would have the same result by making it difficult for healthcare professionals to make money in Medicare."

'Course, an even greater mistake was putting the incompetent wind-bag back in the White House.
