    That death panel thing was so fucking stupid. And when it proved to be nonsense, everyone just pretended they weren’t yelling about it constantly.

      Oh it’s anything but nonsense. They exist today, in health insurers when deciding whether or not to pay out.

        That’s literally what we’ve had for decades. The ACA did not invent it and it’s not quite the same as what was being claimed by the right during the late 2000’s/2010’s.

          Exactly, the death panels have always been around.

          Mouth breezer boomers have no issue with private company doing the job though since teevee said that was “ok”
