Mark Halperin, a senior political analyst for Time magazine, told Newsmax TV that Democrats and the corporate media did not level with the public on death panels built into Obamacare.

Mark Halperin makes his remarks on death panels at 8 minutes into the video.

Halperin said the death panel concept is a cornerstone of Obamacare. “It’s built into the plan. It’s not like a guess or like a judgment. That’s going to be part of how costs are controlled,” Halperin told Steve Malzberg. Halperin makes his comments eight minutes into the above video.

Democrats have used the term “death panel” as a pejorative after the former Republican Governor of Alaska, Sarah Plain, used it in a debate on Obamacare in 2009.

Democrats and the corporate media boast they have “debunked” the claim and insist eugenics practices are not part of Obamacare. PolitiFact characterized the term as its “Lie of Year” in 2009 and FactCheck said it represents one of its “whoppers.”

Democrats and supporters of the Obamacare fiasco have fought a running battle since the Keynesian economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman said in February that in order for the collectivist welfare state to run smoothly higher taxes and death panels will be mandatory.

“Eventually we do have a problem. That the population is getting older, health care costs are rising,” Krugman said, admitting that “there is this question of how we’re going to pay for the programs… So the snarky version… which I shouldn’t even say because it will get me in trouble, is death panels and sales taxes is how we do this.”

One in eight dying patients spends the final days of life thirsty, hungry or in pain in UK hospitals and care homes, new research reveals.

Researchers surveyed more than 20,000 grieving families and found that one in eight patients dies hungry, thirsty or in pain, according to the Office for National Statistics.

The findings revealed widespread dissatisfaction among families. Fifth of them expressed dissatisfaction with hospital nurses, saying they were not treating the dying individuals with dignity and respect.

Thirteen percent of the grieving families said their dying relative’s need for food was not met during the last two days of their life. Ten percent said their loved ones failed to receive enough pain killers, even though in some cases they had cancer.

The grim figures showed that nearly one in eight dying patients also had insufficient help with personal needs.

“It is disgraceful that almost one in four carers felt that someone dying of cancer did not get good care overall in their last three months of life,” said Fran Woodard, of Macmillan Cancer Support.

She denounced the poor treatment provided to dying patients, saying, “Dying people and their families should never be left in such terrible distress in this day and age.”

Another study in Japan, released last month, showed that dying cancer patients would live a few extra days at home rather than in hospital.

The study, published online by the journal Cancer surveyed more than 2,000 patients. It said the survival of patients who died at home was “significantly longer” than that of patients who died in hospitals.

Doctor Jun Hamano of the University of Tsukuba reassured that “good home hospice care does not shorten patient life, and even may achieve longer survival.”
