The first option is Sarah Palin's original idea for death panels - where a panel of bureaucrats will evaluate a person's potential contribution to society and decide how much healthcare they should be allocated.

The second option requires the panel not to know who the patient is, only their medical condition and the cost.

Vote away.

She didn't want them. She opposed them and said they were inevitable under Obamacare.

"Potential for society" leaves waaaaaay too much room for interpretation, especially with the assholes running the show now.

No thanks people shouldn't live or die based off how profitable they are to billionaires.

Was she correct?

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

Can I get on one of these death panels

I feel like it will be unwritten but agreed upon that the highest worth a person can have is being on a death panel so they'll always get the best care

The question isn't should we have them, it's how long before someone claims that they're biased due to race.

They weren't in the draft bill or the law that was passed. But we'll never know what would have happened, maybe 20-30 years down the road, if Republicans hadn't vociferously denounced death panels.

Do they have death panels in all the countries with Nationalized healthcare?

I wish they had it here in Canada. Not to deny anyone anything that's medically necessary *cough* but if you've owed the government income tax forever and also smoked cigarettes you're whole life or otherwise been obese I believe you should be paying tax at a much higher tax bracket since your choices put a bigger strain on the system.

They have the type in option 2 in this poll. Procedures that are extremely expensive/have marginal efficacy are not performed. This is why the super rich in those countries tend to come to the US, or somewhere they can pay out of pocket, for treatment. If you're a billionaire you may decide to spend 5 million dollars for a 10% chance of living an additional 5 months, but nationalized healthcare is probably not going to cover that type of treatment.

Clarification: option 2 death panels are not deciding cases on an individual basis. They are classifying treatments as worth paying for, or not, independently of its connection with any individual patient. So obviously it's not nearly the same thing as option 1.
