HEALTH CARE AND DEATH PANELS

My only concern with the charge of the government instituting "death panels" as it deals with end-of-life care is that this is already happening. Doctors make those decisions in some cases (for better or worse). And as Froma Harrop points out, insurance companies do it more often than we think. If an insurance company denies treatment is this any different from a government bureaucracy doing it? Both are horrendous bureaucracies to work through if you have an appeal to make.
