And lets not forget the response. They said there were no death panels but promptly removed the provision in question. My 2 year old doesnt get away with that you bitches won't either.
The provision to pay doctors for their visits/advice about dealing with dying that magically morphed into the death panels, and soylent green provision?

They removed it for political reasons, not because there was anything to it.

It was par with the "Obama Kenyan Muslin Socialist" accusations.
From what I remember it was an advisory panel with a euphemistic name. Easily demonized, and you caved on it because you knew you were wrong. Like the Cornhusker kickback and Louisiana purchase of 2009.

Most people, if asked what should be covered for their mother, would say that no expense is too great to keep mom alive for just a few more minutes.

That's not sustainable. At all.

It's like putting the six year old in charge of the candy and toy budget.

You shouldn't be too worried about people wanting too many hyper expensive medical procedures covered on the public dime, at least if you had a universal federal public option, the death panels will take care of that. There will be no $400,000 a minute expenditures on taxpayer dollars for anyone who doesn't pay for it themselves, bet that. There is no government on the planet who would cover anything like that, they have better shit to spend it on.

If we implemented death panels, wealthy Canadians would be fucked. You guys would have to face your own death panels instead of traveling to America to pay-to-live while preaching to us how wonderful your health care system is.

You wouldn't scrap the private health care that the wealthy would pay out of pocket for, don't be ridiculous, that's like something Canada would do and drive all our best doctors away so they can get payed by a nation who isn't dumb enough to scrap the private system. You guys are smarter than that right?

At least learn from our mistakes. That's an easy bullet to dodge, don't just sit there and watch as most of your best doctors move to Switzerland so they can get payed again.

Implementing a public option is one thing, banning proper private options is something else entirely, especially in America. Gotta imagine you Yanks wouldn't put up with a complete government takeover of health care, considering y'all hyperventilate at the mere suggestion of any government involvement in health care as it is.

That's what they will want. If Trump pivots and supports a public option to pick up what the private market cannot, I guarantee most of the left will demand full socialized medicine in return.
