Live or Die? That was for the Doctor to Decide
I was open-minded about this editorial until the last sentence. "Federal involvement has never led to death panels. It has only ended them." Not true
This editorial attempts to equate America's ability to fund kidney dialysis with the ability to cover every facet of American healthcare.
Of course, America can absorb more money on kidney dialysis, but America cannot support a Universal Public Option healthcare without going bankrupt. Government healthcare without unlimited resources to support the program will result in scarcity. Scarcity of resources will result in decisions being made about who gets those scarce resources (a.k.a. Death Panels). It is not outrageous to go down this path as countries have and do ration healthcare to the detriment of citizens - - - no matter what Mr. Buntin would like us to believe.
