"This past summer, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin fearmongered against passing health care legislation with stories about government-mandated “death panels” that would decide whether older citizens or the disabled would live or die. The newest iteration of this fear was stoked by Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) this morning on the Senate floor. Coburn, addressing specifically seniors, said, “I’ve got a message for you: you’re going to die soon.”"
