ObamaCare remains a steaming pile of crap with its government-controlled health care, rationing of care, decrease in the overall quality of the health system, shoving of private insurance out of business, and the impact it will have on costs.

But it appears that the Senate Finance Committee will move to shovel away a little bit of the pile.

The Senate Finance Committee will drop a controversial provision on consultations for end-of-life care from its proposed healthcare bill, its top Republican member said Thursday.

The committee, which has worked on putting together a bipartisan healthcare reform bill, will drop the controversial provision after it was derided by conservatives as “death panels” to encourage euthanasia.

“On the Finance Committee, we are working very hard to avoid unintended consequences by methodically working through the complexities of all of these issues and policy options,” Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said in a statement. “We dropped end-of-life provisions from consideration entirely because of the way they could be misinterpreted and implemented incorrectly.”

The Finance Committee is the only congressional committee not to report out a preliminary healthcare bill before the August congressional recess, but is expected to unveil its proposal shortly after Labor Day.

Like I said, a little bit of the pile of crap would be removed. But it remains a steaming pile nevertheless.
