There are Death Panels Now!

Democrats need to stress that we already HAVE "Death Panels" right now. Insurance Companies RIGHT NOW decide the fates of their "insured" people. They are RIGHT NOW deciding who will live, who will die. They are RIGHT NOW deciding on whether or not to pay for needed operations or not. This is what needs reformed. The ONLY way to reform the industry is to present it with a formidable OPTION, aka ALTERNATIVE that is not based on profit.



The other 'frame' of this health care reform issue, which Democrats are not stressing yet but should be, is that there's absolutely NO reason why America should be 38th in the world when it comes to health & longevity. France is #1 in the world. FRANCE? Republicans hate France! Dems should play into their irrational hatred. We should be BETTER than France and not so far down on the list that we are basically an irrelevant laughing stock.

What's the worse that can happen? Republicans, always more than willing to oppose the Democratic Party at the drop of a dime, start defending France? That'd be hilarious!
