Death Panels?
Totally ludicrous. There is no such thing as a "death panel." They are a figment of someone's despicably vile imagination. Any person who traffics in that brand of misleading gutter politics should be drawn and quartered. In fact, it is exactly that sort of imprecise and insidious speech that makes this country such a breeding ground for neo-Nazi, right-wing conservative kooks.
And, aside from that, the Senate has pledged to omit the passage (that doesn't actually exist--in section 1233 of the House bill) from its own plan.
They didn't do it. But if they did, they promise not to do it anymore.
Sarah Palin sure is dumb.

I have not looked at any of the proposed legislation with regard to whether a "death panel" is implied.
I would suggest, however, that this function by whatever name is inescapable. We can not sustain the current level of medical expenditure and End of Life Care is a huge part of that expenditure. Someone will have to make decisions with regard to rationing the care. I am skeptical as to whether enlightened conversations between physician and patient/patient family will suffice to manage the prolonging life vs extending death ethical challenge
