Keith Olbermann: Death Panels v Life Panels

Pretty moving Special Comment by Keith Olbermann. He talks about how his father is very sick in the hospital and how all the options of care and testing are available to him. The conversations he has with the doctors and how they handle each twist and turn in his father's constant fight with pain and infections can be described, as he says, as a "life panel".

Those same conversations and rights to health care would be called a "death panel" by the Right and the health insurance lobbyists who script their political positions.

Life is not a game. Keith sums up the difference between the Right and Left and how serious these matters are.
