One of the handy pieces of information that the Republicans passed along to the American people when Congress was debating health care in 2008 was the “fact” that Obamacare* would create “Death Panels”. The term implied that these would be appointed panels of bureaucrats that would decide if your Aunt Maybelle would live or die.
The truth was that Obamacare created no such thing.
But what if the Republicans were right? Not right about what the Democrats did, but about what they should have done. Maybe we do need death panels.
