"Dogs"

OK, all you Moral Majority folks out there. Those of you of the wailing and the gnashing of teeth during the whole Terri Schiavo circus. The Grand Old Party that you know and love are doing their best to make sure the Health Insurance companies get their way in this Health Care reform effort. And this is a taste of "their way":

Legally barred from discriminating against individuals who submit large claims, the New York-based insurer simply canceled lines of coverage altogether in entire states to avoid paying high-cost claims like Mr. Pearl's. In an e-mail, one Guardian Life Insurance Co. executive called high-cost patients such as Mr. Pearl "dogs" that the company could "get rid of."

A federal court quickly ruled that the company's actions were legal, so on Dec. 1, barring an order by the federal Department of Health and Human Services, Mr. Pearl will lose his benefits.

Conservative Christians need to get it in their head that the bottom line for the GOP is nearly always money and rarely what is right morally.

In other words, when it comes to "Death Panels", the Democrats aren't the ones you need to worry about.
