There be 'death panels" in Arizona

As ThinkProgress has reported, Gov. Jan Brewer (R-AZ) and the GOP-controlled state House have turned a blind eye to the plight of 98 Arizona patients in desperate need of organ transplants.

Since Brewer enacted painful cuts to the state’s Medicaid program in October, two Arizonans unable to pay for the transplants they needed passed away.

After months of appeals and protests, it appears Brewer has finally agreed to set aside a $151 million “uncompensated-care pool to pay health-care providers for ‘life-saving’ procedures, including transplants.”

However, state House Republicans are refusing to let measures to restore funding for organ transplants advance.  State House Appropriations Committee Chairman John Kavanagh (R) explained, “not enough lives would be saved to warrant restoring millions in budget cuts” for the transplants.

Hysterical Raisins: AZ Republican governor convenes a real death panel

Gov. Jan Brewer’s budget plan proposes to eliminate health-care coverage for more than 280,000 Medicaid recipients, to close a budget deficit her office estimates at $1.15 billion for fiscal 2012.
 
Brewer has said she has no choice but to recommend cuts to the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System given the magnitude of the state’s fiscal crisis.

Make no mistake about this decision. People will die!  

So much for the government insuring domestic tranquillity. Low taxes are more important than saving human life.

Republicans convene medical death panels in Arizona

This is not politics. People will die because they cannot get transplants in AZ.

Gov. Jan Brewer approved a budget cut based on faulty information that came through insurance and partisan channels. Brewer refuses to convene a special session of the legislature to fix the mistake.

FOXNews.com: Democrat Terry Goddard wins AZ gubernatorial debate

Published September 02, 2010 | Associated Press

Gov. Jan Brewer says she didn't do as well as she wanted in her televised debate with Terry Goddard, the Democratic candidate for governor.

Brewer paused during her opening statement during the Wednesday evening debate. On Thursday she told Phoenix radio that it was, in her words, "the longest 16 seconds of my life."

After the debate, she abruptly halted a question-and-answer session with reporters. She refused to answer questions about Goddard's debate charge that Arizona's image was hurt by Brewer's June statement about beheadings in the desert.

Brewer said Thursday that headless bodies found in Mexico and that border violence could spill over into Arizona.

She said the line of post-debate questioning was unfair but that her leaving might have been "the wrong thing to do."

Arizona governor asks legislature for $100 billion to fund the Brewer Wall.

The Brewer Wall is to be heavily guarded police wall that will stretch from Somerton to Douglas, AZ. It will separate Anglo-America from Hispano-Mexico.

The Brewer Curtain will be the most visible symbol of American fascism against Latinos and Hispanics The wall was built by the government of Arizona in order to stop the tide of emigration to Anglo-Arizona.

Because of dissatisfaction with the economic and political conditions in Mexico (drug war violence, wages and supply gaps), an increasing number of people left Hispano-Mexico.

Millions of Mexicans now work in the US as share croppers, gardeners and fast food employees. Few have trouble finding work from US corporations and small business people.

Armed neo-Nazi guards will patrol the northern side of the wall.

In 2010, Pinal County Sheriffs Deputy Louis Puroll was shot by what he called “suspected drug smugglers” in an isolated area of south-central Arizona. Deputy Purol said he had stopped a car he suspected of having illegal drugs on Highway 8 and was shot with an AK-47 type weapon.

What he didn’t say was he illegally stopped a car of undocumented workers he had racially profiled merely because they were listening to a Linda Ronstadt CD and had brown skin.

The symbolism of the wall as a representative of the divide between Hispano- and Anglo-values was not lost on Arizona governor, Jan Brewer. President Obama has already prepared a speech urging the fascist Arizona governor to "tear down this wall between the two Americas.!"
