Here from A. J. Strata are some comments about the Massachusetts healthcare plan, where it appears that the so-called death panels may become a reality. Usually in an authoritarian collectivist society everyone is eventually equally bad off. It apppears that in our new world order, people who smoke, are obese, or who are elderly will be worse off than everyone else where healthcare is concerned. I guess they will just let fat old people who smoke die. Oregon at least offers assisted suicide, but apparently Massachusetts won't have that option.
