Death Panels!- "Obama lies, Grandma dies."

The news has been rife with GOP claims (mostly lead by my favorite Republican and former Governor of Alaska by resignation before even finishing her first term, Sarah Palin) that the proposed Health Care Plan includes provisions for "death panels" where terminally ill Americans would be euthanized because the cost of care would be too expensive.  The "Death Panel" claims have been misinterpreted from clauses in the reform that allow for doctors to counsel on critical end of life options.  

Controversy has been so heated that at a New Hampshire rally for President Obama, people held up signs saying, "Obama lies, Grandma dies."  Intense, no?
