First they signed Marie Harf, then they signed the devil incarnate Ezekiel Emanuel.
Fox News announced the signing of Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel as a healthcare and policy analysis contributor on Tuesday. He’s the architect of Obamacare along with liar Jonathan Gruber.
He currently serves as chair of the Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy at the University of Pennsylvania and is a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress
Maybe they could hire Eric Holder or George Soros next!
“I think this manic desperation to endlessly extend life is misguided and potentially destructive,” Zeke Emanuel once said.
He’s the guy who found a cure for old age — ration the health care of the aged, which he deems to be 75 years and up.

In 2014 the Atlantic published his article titled, “Why I Hope to Die at 75,” wherein he avers that “families — and you — will be better off if nature takes its course swiftly and promptly.
Lovely, bye bye Granny.
Emanuel is a fan of medical rationing, especially of rationing care to the elderly and children under ten years of age.
He mostly has it in for the elderly.
Just prior to his 2009 appointment to President Obama’s Coordinating Council on Comparative Effectiveness Research, he co-authored an article in the Lancet which promotes allocation of health care resources according to the age of the patient. In its introduction, he and his co-authors recommend a rationing system that would prioritize “people who have not yet lived a complete life” yet go on to claim, “Unlike allocation by sex or race, allocation by age is not invidious discrimination.”
It was called the “Complete Lives System”.
In this 2013 article for the Journal of the American Medical Association, he bemoans the hidebound attitude of a physician community that still insists on putting the health of individual patients before what he perceives to be the good of society.
Emanuel always finds a way to write off our grandparents.
Ezekiel Emanuel, who Obama appointed as OMB health policy adviser in addition to being picked to serve on the Federal Council on Comparative Effectiveness Research described his system:
“When implemented, the Complete Lives system produces a priority curve on which individuals aged between roughly 15 and 40 years get the most substantial chance, whereas the youngest and oldest people get chances that are attenuated… The Complete Lives system justifies preference to younger people because of priority to the worst-off rather than instrumental value.”
“Attenuated” means, “to make thin; to weaken or reduce in force, intensity, effect, quantity, or value.” Attenuated care would be reduced or lessened care. Dare I say it, in this context it clearly means, “rationed care.”
Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel included a chart with his work which shows how he wants to allocate medical resources under a government plan When you’re very young, or when you start reaching your 50s and 60s, you start receiving less and less priority.
It will get harder and harder to watch Fox News as they move further left under the guidance of the liberal Murdoch boys. They’ll be unwatchable.
