Palin calls Healthcare a "Death Panel"

[Note: I tried to post this as a reponse to the news service that ran the story, but it wouldn't let me post - it was limited to those who have been warped by the conservative news media]

The only "death panel" is your HMO, which already determines whether or not you will receive medical care, depending on if you've met your deductible (which increases 20% annually) and if it doesn't hurt thier profit margin. What the conservatives don't want America to know is that the Insurance industry makes more money than the oil industry and never never never has a loss. We in America have the resources to cover all Americans at a limited cost and it is a shame that we refuse to do so, simply because an aspect of this society has convinced the majority that providing healthcare is somehow wrong.
