Yes, the "Death Panels" was a provision for doctors to spend time with elderly and terminally ill patients, explaining the possible end of life options. From do not resituate, to refusing life extending drugs/procedures, while they still are of sound mind. It's important because relatives will always choose save Uncle Willy, no matter how much Willy is suffering. Looking at the choices doctors choose for themselves, shows yes to pain killers and no to most everything else.

I don't know how I missed this, but somehow - until I noticed you calling these "death panels" - It never clicked in my mind that this was what the republicans were complaining about with the whole US public health policy thing a few years back.
