Do you realize that as soon as we determine that a person can be denied health care once it costs "X" number of dollars that there is NOTHING to stop that number from dropping?

Denials have been in force in the private insurance sector for years. There are "lifetime benefit limits" and once you exceed them you are on your own dime. And insurance companies have denied transplants and other high cost procedures which in their estimation have a minimal success rate.

I don't recall that any Freepers have ever called that "free market euthanasia" nor referred to the private insurance companies as "profit making death panels".

Correct me if I’m wrong here.

Even if insurance runs out, at least the person needing treatment COULD raise money from elsewhere and have the procedure done.

With the Death Panels, the private pay option goes away and you just die.

However, under Obamacare and the like a person would not be allowed to pay for the care themselves and this WOULD be a death panel.

Regardless, I am also referring to those FReepers who have supported Nazi-style involuntary euthanasia.
