Death Panel? Daschle Encourages ‘Other Options’ for Elderly Patients Needing Surgery

Former Senator Tom Daschle wants to “encourage” elderly patients in need of surgeries to seek “other options.”

During a recent radio interview, the former Senate Democrat admitted that if an elderly patient might need a heart transplant, that patient should be encouraged to seek options such as oral medication or “hospice.” For those unfamiliar with hospice, and as the radio host rightly points out, “hospice is where you go to die.”*

The hospice exchange starts at 2:23:

Remember, Obama nominated Daschle for health and human services secretary.

(H/T: Breitbart.tv)

*On a personal note, my mother currently runs a hospice. The “new” hospice that Daschle talks about in the interview is something she’s never seen. Hospice is end of life care — period.

    Gives new meaning to scaring the elderly about losing social security and medicare. Get their votes until they are too ill to cast a ballot then euthanize them reducing the burden to the state.In Nazi Germany school children were given math problems to figure the cost to the state for caring for mentally handicapped people.

    Anyone here remember Logans Run? At 30 you were executed in the Great Uplifting, or some hogwash. There was another film later based on a similar premise but more modern day -the ‘hero’ was kinda reminescent of Jim Morrison. Lowered the voting age and put all the old folks out to pasture on LSD. Of course, ‘old’ was very subjective and very close to 30.

    I think the idea is smashing! Presuming we can limit it to the dilletantes and dandys of the Elite, the Welfare Generationals. Oh, damn, that would be exclusionist wouldn’t it? Damn, there goes that idea.

    This is part of a much bigger problem and it can only be remedied by moral outrage. People who suggest ‘other options’ should be called out and HUMILIATED–otherwise the more we hear this kind of chatter the more it becomes normal–and the next thing you know we all have ‘blue pills’ in our ‘health’ plan.

    Hospice is the support you get when they want to take your meds away, give you morphine, and have you die AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. I’ve seen it now – up close and personal – twice. If the elderly person does not have a VERY STRONG ADVOCATE who refuses to follow guidance and who fights the system, that person will essentially be put in a corner to die. How different is this from placing babies who survive abortion in the corner to die? Same song, second verse…

      We had exactly the same experience with Hospice and ended up telling them thanks but no thanks. The Hospice people wanted to have my mother lay in her bed and die as quickly as possible, with little or no life support or comfort care. Between my veterinarian and myself, my dogs get better end of life care than they are willing to provide my mother!

      Actually, doctor-assisted suicide is not a terrible thing for a person who has a terminal illness. My young 76-year old brother just died from congestive heart failure–his health had deteriorated to the point that he could not continue on. He was in terrible shape, suffering from so many causes, and HE DECIDED that he was ready to leave this world. Morphine kept him comfortable until the end. This is a family decision–not one to be dictated by a government panel or even a doctor. People are intelligent and know what their limits are.

    Generally speaking, Hospice is an option that provides palliative care when a patient is in the final days of his/her life. It provides a comfortable environment for patient to live out their last few days or weeks after medical options have been exhausted. But according to Mr. Daschle, medical options will be reduced to a nice shot of morphine to allow the patient to slip away comfortably. Will he also apply this method of treatment to the drug addict who returns to drugs after failed rehab? If the treatment isn’t effective, is there any sense in repetition, or would he advocate a kind overdosed in a hospice to save treatment for the worthy members of society? Watch out, Lindsay!!!

    Those who chose the Obama option have proved their utter ignorance. When Palin charged there were “death panels” in play with the new health reform bill, the lies from the left attacked her as being a rightwing nutjob when she was saying the truth. The left in their twisted logic said there wasn’t “death panels”, but “end of life counseling” panels. Amazing how a lie from the left is still a lie after they have re-worded it to be palatable to their brainwashed lemming followers.

      Wouldn‘t that mean that doctors wouldn’t even try to assure that something could be done?.
      I KNOW what you‘re saying but I fear the line won’t be very clear

      I think the fear is that doctors won‘t even test to make sure that they can’t be treated any further. Will the doctors that treat a patient who couldn’t be cured therefore wasting money, be penalized for thinking a patient could be treated?

      I have NO idea the answers to these questions and I don’t think anyone does which is the fear. Will doctors not go far enough to save patients who COULD have been saved because of fear?
      Right now they say doctors are doing too much to save lives that can’t be saved. But will it go too far in the other direction…? Who knows. Do you?

    An actual topic! The decision of between available options is/should be the patient or guardians. But Drs need to be honest with them about outcomes and quality of life. Insurance companies currently have approved therapies and limits on hospice reimbursement. So the decision is complicated , but the final decision is and should be the patient/guardian.

      Our President has a courageous plan to save both Social Security and Medicare

      The Social Security Trust Fund is almost bankrupt and the Medicare trust fund is bankrupt. The problem has been apparent for years but until now no one has advanced a plan to save these popular programs.

      At last, our President has the courage to propose a solution! It is so simple that one wonders why no one thought of it before. The solution?

      Enact a “Health Care Reform Bill” the severely rations health care to the elderly. This will save the Medicare Trust Fund and allow it to be used to reward the Presidents political cronies and provide health care for “deserving Illegal Aliens.”

      Deprived of medical care, the lifespan of the elderly will be reduced, depleting the number of recipients of the Social Security Trust Fund, saving that popular program.

      Both problems solved! Why did it take so long to find such a simple solution?

      Of course, the Congress and the President are exempted from the solution so they can perpetuate the problem. http://commonsense21c.com/

      What is the controversy? The lines for heart transplants are very long, and the priority even at private hospitals serving patients with private insurance is to younger patients. To tell an elderly person (70s or 80s) that they will not receive a heart transplant is not a death panel. It is standard operating procedure in the private market system. Honestly, the anti-Obamacare propaganda is beyond stupid and the people that actually believe this is an outrage are really ignorant. Do you people seek to impeach this President if he wears the wrong color tie as well? That is how high this claim rises–barely off the ground of normal practice.

      Typical liberal/ progressive double speak. Just change the wording of something to make it sound more favorable and they believe us “regular folk” will by into it. Your elitist crap isn’t working anymore jack knob. This whole administration and fellow cronies should be on the unemployment line. Get them some shovels for all those shovel ready jobs.

      Have you folks noticed the consistent pattern here? Pick a topic that Democrats rant and scream that the conservatives are lying about. Then, within a year we find out that the conservatives were right all along. You know what I mean, like Bernake monetizing the debt – all the discoveries about health care – racism in the Tea Party etc. etc. You could make quite a list with a little effort. It makes me want to re-examine all those things they think are so important to keep denying (lying about). There are so many to choose from.

      Leave it to a liberal jackass like Daschle to encourage our elderly to commit suicide.

      @->Click For Brain Enema<-.. OH YA I am SURE those who didn't get to go to college and went right to work from high school busting their rears paying into SS and when it came into effect Medicare from age 18/19 to 65/67 which is 47 + years on SS (which remember is MATCHED by the employer so x's by 2). NOW they should work till they DIE?? and NEVER get back ANY money they were FORCED by the government to pay in??? WRONG..If the GOVERNMENT (that would be BOTH parties) hadn't been STEALING the money from SS through they years or EXPANDING SS to include OTHER social services there would be enough to pay the people..and just WHO is making the claims the seniors should just DIE?? OH the ones these same seniors have been PAYING for lifetime healthcare for that THEY won't be giving up..NOR will they been sent away to die.. I would rather pay for GRANNY'S surgery than for a POLITICIANS

      Daschle better watch what it is he stands for…. We won’t forget when the time comes for him to require treatment.
      Tom, instead of that surgery, let’s just dope you up in Hospice to bring about your demise…. Then we can harvest your organs for someone who can better utilize them.

      Lets see if I got this right. The politicians want to increase the age of eligibility for Social Security and now they want to reduce the life span. Hmmm!

      I think that we need to give these liberal dems a taste of their own medicine. They basically want our seniors to suffer. I say we do a little torture on them. Let use the tactics used in Gitmo. They did not die from it. Tom Daschle is worst than hitler. I volunteer to help Tommy boy at Gitmo.

      I wish all of us a fast painless death if possible.

      The people who talk and think that anyone should do something different than ‘What You Decide on their own’ like Ezekiel Emanuel, Tom Dasschle, Cass Sunstein and Justin Wolfers. I know the Good Lord will do what’s best for these men and people who think like them so, I can’t really wish anything for them being a Christian.

      If You look deep in their eyes you can see something, Evil? I’m not sure but playing God is not good for anyone, especially them. Burning In Hell For Eternity is a Trillion times worse than someone giving you ‘The Pill’ instead of the operation.

      I would guess that soon the “death panels” will come to the obvious solution for situations like this…..Soylent Green for all!!

      This will be acceptable until he’s next in line…waiting treatment & care….Next!…
      It’s all about the “money” though isn”t it? Who has it; who doesn’t; who knows who; who has the right bloodline; who is worthy?
      Bottom line, God decides when and what time we all expire; no doctor or government has that authority. If it‘s God’s will; you die; if it‘s God’s will; you live.
      Many of the elderly have all of what’s left of the common sense of this country….and morals. My g/f has a 99 year old mother in a nursing home, healthy as the day she was born; sweet as apple pie. It will be a sad day when she passes on.
