Sarah Palin: Return of the Death Panels?

*
On Twitter, Sarah Palin said Tuesday that the reconciled healthcare bill could contain the death panels she stirred up such a storm by calling attention to last summer:
...merged bill may b unrecognizable from what assumed was a done deal:R death panels back in?what's punishment 4not purchasing mandated HC?

NOW w/the Prez "threatening" &Congress "rushing" is when we MUST pay more attention than ever 2what this HealthCare Takeover is all about...
Via The Hill:
Palin first made her death panel charge about the House bill, writing in a Facebook note that seniors "have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,'" under the healthcare legislation favored by President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats.
But shortly after the former governor's charge, the Senate Finance Committee removed the death panel provisions from its version of the bill. Yet Democrats and their media sycophants continue to claim that such panels were never a part of any proposed legislation and that Gov. Palin's charge was a "lie." They still haven't explained how the Committe removed something froma bill that was never in it. Talk about denial... 

Also on Twitter, former Gov. Palin said she would write a new Facebook note about healthcare reform shortly, though she was occupied at a book signing event in her home town of Wasilla. She took a few moments of time, however to applaud Alabama Congressman Parker Griffith, who announced today that he is switching his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican:
Congratulations Alabama!And all Americans concerned about Capitol Hill's current agenda;Rep Parker Griffith just did the right thing.Welcome
