PALIN'S OUTRAGEOUS DEMAGOGUERY: WHY NOT? EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING IT.
You have no idea what a "Death Panel" is? Then you haven't been following the debate. Or, using your brain.
The Dems are vilifying private health insurers in their current ads. Why? Their goal -- now almost overtly obvious -- is a single payer option which can only be actualized if the private option (ie, private health insurers) disappear.
Under the single payer health care systems in Canada and UK, health care is rationed. Who loses in such a system? Grandma and Grandpa. "Sorry. We can save your Grandma/pa's life but it would exceed our budget. My deep regrets in advance".
A single payer system by its very nature has a "Death Panel" integral to its innards. To "bend the cost curve", thousands, or tens of thousands. or hundreds of thousands, or millions of individuals who would have received life-saving care when we had private insurers will not receive such care when we don't.
If you disagree with this extrapolative logic, you're a dismissable ideologue.
