There have been many instances of this under the socialized medicine system in Europe.

So in twenty or so years, when some of you now 40-ish and up members of the Gangster BB, or your friends or family members need lifesaving medical care and cannot get it - not because you're not 'covered' but because it simply isn't available unless you can come up with alot of cash on the spot, then you can think back to the seemingly ridiculous term 'death panels' and wonder if it was such a lie after all. Unless of course, much of the horror of 'ObamaCare' is eventually repealed.

Sarah Palin isn't the liar, Barack Obama is the liar. He is one of the biggest most arrogant liars that ever set foot in the White House. And although I doubt she could make it through the primaries if she even decided to run in 2012, Palin would be a hands down far superior President to the one we are suffering with right now.



You don't think private insutrance companies don't ration health care?
BTW Palin is a screaching moron, and Obama is one of the greatest politicians in the history of this country. He will serve two terms. As for repeal of HEALTHCARE, not "Obamacare" as all wingnuts call it, it will not be repealed any more than all those other "socialist" measures like social security, mnimum wage, medicare, civil rights, and voting rights, all of which the right wing opposed on the same grounds they opposed HEALTHCARE. My only regret is there is no single payer option. That will come later.
