"Death Panels" are generally thought of as a group of people who create limitations to coverage. For example, if you gonna die in a month, we will not cover a $100,000 procedure. The grey areas are what becomes most difficult, of course. While I don't support these groups being called death panels, that's essentially what they are. I do support the idea of not pissing away money on a person who's going to be dead in a month, regardless. That includes for me, and my family, and others.
We should expand greatly these sorts of limitations, I suspect, if we're going to force insurance on folks.
Forced healthcare........don't you love that? PJ and friends say, "Hey Joe, if you get sick, we're going to offer you heathcare". "Hey Joe, since we've decided to offer you healthcare, we have the right to mandate that you pay for this free shit." But Joe doesn't want the free healthcare. "Sorry, Joe, but we know what's best for you. You have no say in this matter. Hand over your wallet"

I'm not sure what that means...help me out.
Death Panel definition #1 Chuck Grassley and the dipshits who followed him identified "death panels" in Obamacare as the IPAB...which was a board of experts from the most efficient hospitals and clinics across the country to share best practices and ideas. Something the private sector does regularly. But I guess if Obama coordinates this type of administration with our best hospitals then it means we're killing old people or something.
Death Panel definition #2You can see how right-wing retards reacted to end of life counseling as originally provided and paid for in Obamacare. My IQ isn't low enough to explain the reasoning for the outrage but its plenty low enough at the NY Post....they explain why you should be very afraid in this article
In any event - I support both of the "death panels" that right wingers cried about during Obama's tenure. Note that "death panel" is their phrase, not mine.
