every day, bureaucrats at insurance companies decide life and death questions, erring on the side that saves the most money for the company. they look for ways to avoid paying for claims. they send out investigators, as it it were a murder investigation, to see if a person might have had acne when they were 12, and didn't report that on their insurance application. they cut benefits, they drop patients, they kill people.
14,000 people a day are dropped from medical insurance coverage by insurance company death panels.
If health reform legislation does ANYTHING, I would say it should ban insurance company death panels. do you agree?

Don't ewe remember me talking about this just the other day??! =D
me? because i just randomly rematerialized here for the first time since january... heh
Yesh!
Bit it might of value to others to understand what the question is about.
I expect everybody to be as quick as me :-P
It just takes a tiny bit of paradigm twisting, and suddenly their powerful slogans are to be found shooting right back at the enemy.
There are no death panels. This is a tactic dreamnt up by the rep base. They just want to scare people, and they are doing a good job at that. To bad, people can't think for themselves. How stupid people are to think the American govt could get away with something like this. The world is watching and I am sure Obama does not want to lose their respect like Bush did. It's just not true.
As i thought i made clear in my question... of course there are no GOVERNMENT death panels. there never were, and never will be.
but we most certainly DO HAVE INSURANCE COMPANY death panels, who decide every single day who to discontinue coverage for, to the tune of 14,000 victims daily.
The insurance companies have medical review boards who decide whether or not to cover procedures. Check out the story of Nataline Sarkisyan and tell me if you think there is no such thing as private insurance death panels.
and those boards choose life or death. it is an appropriate name. they are the ones who dropped that girl's coverage because she had acne when she was 15. she died. so do thousands a day. if you don't want to ban their practice of choosing who they will cover, that's up to you, but the practice is abhorrent and should be eliminated. the ONLY decisions about care should be between a patient and that patient's doctor. not some death panel in an insurance company.
Absolutely agree.
What do you call it when an insurance company denies treatment?
Insurance company death writ?
