Yes, because for-profit corporate death panels (ala United Health Care and ilk) is somehow preferred to government death panels?

Now, the whole damning thing was that we COULD HAVE had a public option (as in a federal medical insurance plan). That way, you could have chosen your preferred death panel! /sarcasm

Joe Libermann, stooge to the insurance companies, was the sole reason why we don't have that.
