Except that wasn't even what the 'death panels' supposedly were. The bullshit started with the provision that the elderly be given access to end-of-life counselling to help them plan for their future care.

Then what do we need? What is a practical credible alternative that's been proposed that would help like this provision did?

Honestly, i've seen you railing against both the insurance industry and against obamacare. I assume that to indicate that you think something about the system needs to change. Do you think Obamacare too weak to stop the broken insurance companies and fix our broken health care system, or too strong and heavy-handed to do so? if it's too strong, what provisions go too far? if it's too weak, what would you add to it?
