Sarah Palin said it and they made fun of her but she spoke the truth

Get ready for "Death Panels." Here is Steve Rattner, a top adviser to Obama, who comes right out with it. The mouths of Obama buddies usually tell us what Obama wants to say. There's no doubt that 15 unelected unknowns will decide on life or death for many of us. If you disagree with Obama's plans, get out on November 6th and vote down the entire Obama team. And stay alive longer.

A top Democrat strategist and donor who served as President Obama’s lead auto-industry adviser recently conceded that the rationing of health services under Obamacare is “inevitable.”

 

 

Steven Rattner advocated that such rationing should target elderly patients, while stating, “We need death panels.”

 

 

Rattner serves on the board the New America Foundation, or NAF, a George Soros-funded think tank that was instrumental in supporting Obamacare in 2010. Soros’ son, financier Jonathan Soros, is also a member of the foundation’s board.

 

 

Rattner was the so-called “car czar,” the lead auto adviser to the Treasury Department under Obama.

 

 

Last month, Rattner penned an opinion piece in the New York Times titled “Beyond Obamacare” in which he proclaimed “We need death panels” and argued rationing must be instructed to sustain Obama’s health-care plan. His comments have been virtually ignored by traditional media as the president campaign’s for a second term.

 

 

Continued Rattner: “But in the pantheon of toxic issues – the famous ‘third rail’ of American politics – none stands taller than overtly acknowledging that elderly Americans are not entitled to every conceivable medical procedure or pharmaceutical.”

 

 

Rattner lamented how Obama’s Affordable Care Act “regrettably includes severe restrictions on any reduction in Medicare services or increase in fees to beneficiaries.”

 

 

Rattner said the numbers don’t add up unless Obamacare utilizes rationing.

 

 

Rattner singled out elderly patients for benefit cuts.

 

He wrote: “No one wants to lose an aging parent. And with price out of the equation, it’s natural for patients and their families to try every treatment, regardless of expense or efficacy. But that imposes an enormous societal cost that few other nations have been willing to bear. Many countries whose health care systems are regularly extolled – including Canada, Australia and New Zealand – have systems for rationing care.”

 

Rattner serves on the NAF’s 22-person board of directors alongside Jonathan Soros, CNN’s Fareed Zakaria and Google’s Eric Schmidt.

 

Soros’ Open Society Foundation is a primary donor to the NAF.

 

Other major donors include the Ben & Jerry’s Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Ford Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Google Inc. and the Rockefeller Foundation.

 

Another donor is Free Press, a group that advocates for more government control of the airwaves and Internet.

 

Free Press is also funded by Soros. Free Press was founded by Robert W. McChesney, an avowed Marxist who has recommended capitalism be dismantled “brick by brick.”
