Well maybe they are private enterprise death panels, but they trust them more than theoretical government death panels because the private sector is more efficient than government at cutting costs, such as, um, actually paying for needed care and oh shit they did not think that through.
edit: I meant to reply that to the comment above, but oh well. It’s here now.
they prefer real material death panels, than the alternative, because it might have theoretical death panels. that no country with public healthcare has.
Tax paid universal healthcare and healthcare insurance both work on the idea of socializing the cost.
The difference is that insurance companies also need to make a profit too feed the owners.
Since they don’t actually produce anything that can make a profit, the only place they can grab the “profit” is by denying cover.
American healthcare insurance is exactly the same picture that is shown when people try to explain why communism doesn’t work.
because apparently, the alternative is communism, and it will have death panels that will decide if you get to live in order to save costs…
Insurance companies are deathpanels though…
I believe that was their point…

Insurance is worse than communism in this case.

Nearly everything is better than the US&A’s take on capitalism.
I think if we used their language it might help: we should outsource healthcare costs.
