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.
It didn't and hasn't failed miserably in Canada. WTF are you talking about? It works fine. And it works well in the UK and possibly even better in France. However, I do see your point. It doesn't cover ignorance and you seem to have a terminal case.
