I am very sorry to hear that.

But one heartbreaking case should not make policy.

I am against socialized medicine. It failed miserably in Canada, the UK, and elsewhere. Former Eastern European countries have dropped it and are moving to a more western/ capitalist format.

No one, not even the most hardened communist, would want death panels by design. But there is no way to avoid them. Universal health care will so overwhelm resources that it will result in government rationing of healthcare. Death Panels are unavoidable.

The current system needs to be fixed, but not by trading big insurance for big brother.
