    im not lying at all. as you pointed out I guess we could use different definitions of death panels, but the facts are simple. Burocrats deciding who lives or die rather than doctors. it is a fact, it did happen and they admitted it happened.

    we can argue all day about whos definition is correct or not, or we can work towards making sure it doesnt happen again

    The government gives you the opportunity to find out what they are doing.

    i wish this were true but if it were wouldnt have the need for wikileaks and edward snowden. As I said to the other poster though, I can chose to do business with private company ABC, i dont get to choose if i do business with the federal government. Ill take the option of choice over force anytime

    true, my only issue with that is I can avoid doing business with *insert private company here*, I have yet to figure out a way to legally avoid doing business with the feds

    I believe there were changes made in the 90s that mandated banks give out more loans

    I never said they didnt. but my argument was never that private insurance did not do that. the government said they would not do that, and laughed as us for believing they would... yet here they are proving us right. Learn to focus on the topic at hand. Next your gonna tell me its bushes fault as well right?

    i agree that its not the banks fault. Its the people who bought the homes, but its also the governments fault for mandating banks make the loans

    who can we blame for that? Id say its the governments fault for mandating the banks give out the loans to people the banks knew couldnt pay for them. I believe this happened under clinton? im not 100% however

    except for we in a round about way already do have the death panels

    remember the little girl who needed an organ transplant? she was told no and they actually had to bring it to court to save this girls life

    now all the news about secret waiting lists at the VA deciding who has to wait months and months for treatment could be called death panels

    you guys made fun of us for being concerned of abuse. well, now we can actually see the abuse

    I'd rather this be in the public sphere where hopefully the agency has my interests at heart, rather than some private, for profit corporation.

    key word there is hopefully. I dont have any hope in our current government to do the right thing

    Seriously can we please stop manufacturing issues that are non issues? The best person/robot should be given the job. be it white black asian purple or bender

    yeah but what good is a functioning brainstem if you dont actually use your brain?? of COURSE critics of capitalism will point out the worst case scenario. just as a capitalist will explain that communism is a disease and will result in stalin like executions.
