A Glaring Omission

Last night PBS NewsHour correspondent Paul Solman continued the dinosaur media's sales pitch and snow job for the Obama universal "hell" care scheme. Solman enjoyed a free trip to the Netherlands where he chronicled the wonders of the Dutch medical system, but failed to mention the widespread practice of euthanasia, where in some instances, doctors make the decision to end life unilaterally, without approval of patient or family. The Dutch have no doubt enjoyed great cost savings by terminating so many lives prematurely and have even coined the euphemism "termination of the patient without explicit request" to describe patient murder by way of involuntary euthanasia. Should anyone be surprised that Solman and the rest of the old-line propagandists for Obama have made no effort to ferret out and report this startling fact about another allegedly superior health care system? America beware, if Obama passes his public option care scheme, this could be where we are headed.
