I guess I hit it right in the middle since there is nothig left except name callinYou don't even know what 'death panels' means. Do you even remember how that death panel talk began?
It was Sarah Palin saying this:
The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil."
Now, why don't you show us where in Obamacare does the law set up a panel of bureaucrats with the power to deny care to people who are not deemed sufficiently 'productive'
because, for example, they have Down Syndrome...
PolitiFact | Sarah Palin falsely claims Barack Obama runs a 'death panel'
And she was exactly right. That is what is a standard rule in every socialized medical system and that is why it is being implemented.
Not that I disagree that95 yo demented nursing home patient deserves less than 45 yo father of three. But this road is a straight one to extreme corruption and deterioration of the level of care for everyone
Then you can cite the provision in Obamacare that establishes the death panel that denies care to Sarah Palin's son?
lol, you're an idiot.

Death panels are disguised in limiting people's ability to afford healthcare simply by having large deductible plans that discourages people from getting healthcare.
Death panels are disguised as there will be a shortage of doctors that participate in Medicare and Medicaid which creates long wait times to see doctors that do take these insurance. People will get discouraged and not get the preventive treatment that would have prevented their death.
Death panels disguised as plans that determine what diagnosis they will cover and what ones they won't that will end in death.
Share I go on?

You're an idiot because you're claiming that there are provisions in Obamacare that would deny healthcare to children with Down Syndrome,
but you can't cite the provision in the law that does that.
So, IDIOT, do you want to try again?
In what you think is the ACA (H.R.4872 (Just for ole Greenbeard)), there isn't any Independent Payment Advisory Board.
So what's the deal? Are you a moron who doesn't even know what the ACA is and couldn't look up its provisions if he tried, or does the IPAB not exist?
Don't answer, rhetorical question!
On second thought, go ahead and answer.
Does the IPAB not exist? Or are you an idiot who's never even looked at the ACA? If the latter, why should anyone give a shit what you think is in it or your opinion of its merits?
Beginning with fiscal 2015, if Medicare is projected to grow too quickly, IPAB will make binding recommendations to reduce spending. Those recommendations will be sent to Capitol Hill at the beginning of the year, and if Congress doesn't like them, it must pass alternative cuts -- of the same size -- by August. A supermajority of the Senate (at least two-thirds of those present) can also vote to amend the IPAB recommendations. If Congress fails to act, the secretary of health and human services is required to implement the cuts.
The IPAB: The Center Of A Political Clash Over How To Change Medicare - Kaiser Health News
Is Kaiser lying dad?
Defenders counter that the law bars it from rationing care, restricting benefits or changing eligibility criteria. And, in response to complaints from the health care industry, Sen. John Rockefeller, D-W.Va., who was one of IPAB's architects, said that the board was specifically designed to reduce the influence of "special interests" on Medicare payment policy. Those interests, he and others say, have kept Congress from making the tough decisions needed to hold down spending and reduce the deficit.
How exactly will IPAB slow Medicare spending?
Under the health care law, the board is required to recommend reductions in Medicare if spending per capita is projected to exceed specific targets. From fiscal year 2015 through 2019, that target is based on inflation gauges. Beginning in 2020, the target is based on the growth of the gross domestic product plus one percentage point. Proponents note that IPAB won't impose a "hard cap" on spending, but rather will recommend ways to reduce spending. "IPAB is meant to be a fallback if the health law doesn't control spending as well as we think it will," said Robert Kocher, a former special assistant to Obama on health care.

To be fair death panels are there already - in any type of insurance or medicaid or medicare one needs authorization for any type of treatment or diagnostics. If something is. if some medication is not FDA approved for this particular protocol it is going to be an uphill battle to get it payed by provider.
Obviously, it is not as drastic as under universal healthcare but it is there and the whole purpose of any healthcare legislation is to cut costs, no matter what blah-blah the medua js feeding you
relatives is NOT YOU.
you do not have first hand experience.
Well, I do know this. Nobody there is making any kind of arguement to switch to our system. Nor, is any other country with universal health care. Are they all to stupid to switch?
They can not switch. The government won't let anybody even to start the discussion. They are abusing our system, though - the ones who are dropped by their universal healthcare because they do not deserve to be treted in that super-duper system

You did not read the rest of the article:

Try again.
It makes about as much sense as anything else Palin has said.The immaturity in this thread is disgraceful!
You festering crap is ruining it for everyone else.
Either stick to the topic and not each other or get out.

"What happens when you make law saying we can only soend o much on any given prcedure?"
Then you do exactly what you would do had ACA not been passed. You would have gone to a doctor who does not accept your insurance plan, or even gone to the same doc, and told him not to bill your insurance plan, but to bill you instead and then paid cash for the proceedure.
Duh?
