Tennessee doctors make a fortune kicking disabled people off Medicare

I vaguely recall the Republicans used to have a name for this sort of thing… what was it now…?

Oh yeah. “Death panels”. But only when “socialized” gubbment-controlled medicine decides who gets to live or die. When Tennessee politicians set this up it’s completely different, I’m sure, so let’s call it something else. “Sanctioned senior selection boards”? “Deep care for the disabled”? “Liberty from life” committees?

No doubt some combination of words will eventually be found that will properly combine the high-minded principles of the Old South with modern Republican attitudes towards the poor, the weak, the old, and similar despised minorities.
