The state of Arizona had their own death panel and it was their state gov't.
Quote:
Gov. Grim Reaper and the fallen angels of the Republican-controlled Legislature do not like being called a death panel.
But that is what they are.
If elected officials make budget decisions that determine whether sick people live or die - and they choose the latter - they are a death panel......
But the governor says that she first wants them to come up with a solution to the state's $1 billion budget deficit.
It's a cruel political card to play.
The budgetary savings projected from allowing gravely ill working people to die for lack of transplants has been described as somewhere between $1.4 million and $5 million for a year.
Arizona's budget is about $8.5 billion.

IIRC, after 3 of these deaths by budget Gov Brewer had a change of heart though. Thankfully.
