I just don’t think grandma should be in front of an Obama Death Panel.
The Death Panel should be guys trying to sacrifice her to the line, someone with zero knowledge of her care typing “no” in a spreadsheet, or, fuck it, let’s get an AI with a 90% error rate (always errs towards denial). Those are the right arbiters to decide the value of someone’s life.
"You could have this appendectomy and live 30 more years perfectly healthy, but we see that you are retired and not generating revenue for your betters. Denied. "
Hmm. By thinking about it at all, you thought about it for too long. I have concerns if you’ll be able to deny enough people per hour. Well, we could have you do gig economy denials as a contractor until we can replace you with the LLM.
I hated that attack line so much. It was about an optional benefit that my representative wanted to add for Medicare recipients, a voluntary consultation on living wills. This had been requested by the AARP. Sarah Palin latched onto it, lied that it would press people into ending their lives, lied that it would be mandatory, lied, lied, lied, and lied some more. It really demonstrates how much Sarah Palin was a large part of the Republican Party’s descent into Trumpism, though you could also trace that back to Reagan’s lies about “welfare queens”.

Our current death panel is just “well, she can’t afford it”… just as American Jesus wants.
Supply-Side Jesus
“Her husband should have made more money.”

That is a bleak take on why insurance is tied to employment in America. Sounds right.
