Obamacare architect Ezekiel Emanuel recently penned a piece of propaganda for The Atlantic promoting that death at the age of 75 is best for everyone.
A column for the NY Times back in August illustrated how death panels are making a comeback as doctors are encouraged to carry out `end of life discussions`, which are nothing more than a solicitation to die earlier than one would desire in order to avoid the `sufferings of old age`.

Or sooner with Obamacare
Well, from the looks of him , I guess he needs to die, cause he looks to be 75 years old.
From the looks of the picture promoteing this filth, he is kicking at the door of death right now soon…
Well you look about that age! Looks like you need a cap in your azz!
People playing God!!! I lost my Grandmother from cancer at 64, I really missed that sweet lady who taught me to pray and told me bible stories, Grandparents are a great inflience on a childs life, alot because even in my generation parents were very busy with supporting their family, sounds familiar today and it is worse with so many moms working on their careers. Lets leave our choice of death to our Lord, I enjoy those elderly people in our church, they are a blessing too those even not in their families.
He should die immediately!!!
He’s talking about how long he wants to live, not how long ~other people~ should live. Personally I hope to get to 80 with good health and and any time after that I’d consider a bonus. I know I don’t want to live (even to 80) if I am sick and can’t take care of myself. I don’t want to be a burden to my family. I have had two parents that died of long, horrible illnesses. My mother passed at 53, my father at 67, and I currently have a sister who is 48 and is dying of ovarian cancer. I know, especially if I were in my father’s situation I would have wanted euthanasia if I had the choice. I’m a big supporter of that, for those people where the pain is too unbearable or for those where they feel they have lost their dignity- why shouldn’t they have the choice (please leave God and the Bible out of it. We’re talking science here) to end their lives with some shred of dignity? We treat our animals better than ourselves when our pets are too sick to carry on because we don’t want them to suffer. I also agree with what he said about the cult of the vitamin taking (more than a multivitamin, much more) and those who will only eat food they consider “clean.” There is no guarantee that doing any of that will extend your life any more than eating a healthy, well balanced diet, exercising, keeping your stress down and doing things that make you happy will. When you have an end of life discussion with your doctor, it usually involves appointing a person to make health decisions for you if you are not able, if you want a ‘DNR’ order and whether or not you want to be hooked up to machines to extend your life or not. That’s all. Doctors go by what you want, they are not there to tell you what they want. I read this twice and did not get the feeling at all that he was saying *everyone* should cut themselves off at 75. I feel like the title of this article is disingenuous. We also have to remember that tomorrow is not promised for anyone. I may want to live until I’m 80 but that may not be what is planned for me. I could get hit by a bus later today and that would be that, for all my good eating and planning. I fail to see the evidence of ‘death panels’ or advice that 75 is a good age for everyone to die. I wish you would be more truthful with your titles.

Wonder if he will feel that way when he turns 75?
Since he’s Rahm’s brother, is this a shock to anyone?
