Health care cost savings, government style.

Perhaps Palin's comment regarding "Death Panels" is not so far off the mark.

"Terminally Ill Denied Drugs for Life, But Can Opt for Suicide"

The news from Barbara Wagner's doctor was bad, but the rejection letter from her insurance company was crushing.

The 64-year-old Oregon woman, whose lung cancer had been in remission, learned the disease had returned and would likely kill her. Her last hope was a $4,000-a-month drug that her doctor prescribed for her, but the insurance company refused to pay.

What the Oregon Health Plan did agree to cover, however, were drugs for a physician-assisted death. Those drugs would cost about $50.
