No, you will achieve your Death Panels by rationing care like the British HealthCare system does. Which is why of course our President had to sneak in "Dr. Death Panel", a huge proponent of the British System, to avoid questions that would be raised during Congressional hearings.

There is already health care rationing in this country, Paul. Here's how it works. You break your arm. You come to the ER. They splint it and refer you to an ortho for casting. You call an ortho, but you have no insurance and you don't qualify for medicare or medicaid. The ortho wants $500 when you walk in the door. You don't have it. You come back to the ER. The ER says, sorry we don't cast. Find an ortho.You call more orthos. They all want money up front. You never have your arm properly cast. That's rationing. Those who have money or insurane get treatement, those who don't, don't.
