Remember "#DeathPanels"? @SarahPalinUSA promised that #UniversalHealthcare was a prelude to a Stalinist nightmare where unaccountable bureaucrats decided who lived or died based on a cost-benefit analysis of the cost to keep you alive versus how much your life was worth.

Palin was right that any kind of healthcare rationing runs the risk of this kind of calculus, where we weight spending $10,000 to extend a young, healthy person's life by 40 years against $1,000 to extend an elderly, disabled person's life by a mere two years.

#lapd something going on in #vannuys - inc#5386. When dispatchers start referring to a call by it's incident number only, it's usually something big. It's to keep people like me out of the loop as much as possible.
additional information: since I have not posted the location, sounds like the person calling is enroute to the location, and there are 4 people inside who PD wants the caller to ask them to come out.
I usually am able to find out more info about these calls via additional scanner traffic on other channels. This one is really quiet. No chatter anywhere
