The real Death Panels

[francolettieri]

Sarah Palin and many other conservative politicians routinely refer to the Affordable healthcare act as "death panels" What really frusterates me is why democratic politicians don't start referring to Health Insurance Companies as Death panels and point out how conservatives want to protect the Insurance companies right to charge ridiculously high premiums/ deny and drop coverage to sick people.

The death panels really do exist...Blue Cross/Blue shield, Humana, Cigna....Barack Obama wanted to stop them from operating as death panels, but conservatives want things to stay the way they are.

Why don't democrats refer to health insurance companies as death panels???? I think its because the democratic party is ridiculously inneffective/ passive. Sometimes it seems like the democratic party doesn't really exist, it seems more like the party was created by the GOP who wanted to create the illusion of an opposition party even through there really is none. Soooo frusterating!!
