But then, I have been involved in the study of our health care system for over twenty years now and probably know more than the average consumer.
..and your assertions are guided by your own bias. To call an exclusion under an insurance policy the equivalent of a "death panel", or health care rationing, is an abuse of the language at the very least. Or, to extend your lame analogy, I guess we also have death panels for houses and cars, since exclusions exist under homeowners and auto owners insurance policies as well.
