Do you belive that Obama's health plan will include "Death Panels"?

Or do you recognize that a market driven system, like we have now, effectively does just that by encouraging insurance companies to maximize profit by insuring only the healthy and the wealthy, and conducting a bogus propaganda campaign to convince ignorant poor people to demonstrate against their own best interest?

    There are 2 things in this world that profit should play no part in.

    Health care and education.

    No Its all Bogus Criticism by Conservatives like Sarah Palin and Chuck Grassley Theirs No Death Panels in ObamaCare Maybe theirs Death Panels to Current Health Care Plans.

    "Death panels"? No! That's just completely asinine.

    Insurance companies already mostly only insure the "healthy and the wealthy".

    What we need is some sort of plan that provides medical coverage to the uninsured while letting the insured keep the medical coverage they already have.

    I read one person saying that the majority of the scare mongering is coming from pharmaceutical companies. A social care system is nothing to be scared of, we Britons and Canadians have life expectancies just as long if not longer than Americans.

    You have them now, with the insurance companies denying treatments, and medications to very ill people.

    Under the Obama administration you would not have such things, everyone would be entitled to treatment, and medication.

    No, it will just be another wasteful government program, run by total idiots, and cost 150 times whatever the lying politicians say it will cost.

    But then I see by your avatar that you are a Marxist.
