Obama lied!  We already have death panels in this nation!  And we
certainly DO have healthcare rationing and limitations!

Every private health-insurance policy has page after page of
limits and rationing.  Every for-profit “health” insurance conglomerate
absolutely DOES have what are, operationally, too-often “death
panels” (and panel-specified policies that guarantee bankruptcy for too many of their
policy-holders).

Internal administrative panels composed of cost-control managers,
actuaries and even some non-practicing physicians, unilaterally
decide which treatments will remain unfunded, which pharmaceuticals
will remain unapproved, which pre-existing conditions will be
prohibited from having any coverage at all, which continuing
illnesses will have their coverage denied after their first occurrence,
which claims will be denied based on intentionally-vague fine-print,
etc.

Politicians and advocates who favor redressing these major threats to
life, health and family security, should be emphasizing these
current, profit-driven threats, aggressively pursued by these massive,
all-powerful conglomerates.

Has America become too cowardly to defend its citizens against aggressors?

This is a “war” against illness!  American citizens are far more
threatened by invading bacteria, illness attacks, etc., than by any
threat from terrorists (much less unreliable enemies like “Communist”
bogeymen).
