I don't deny the concern is real. Palin's quaint centerpiece is what I take issue with.

From what you suggest it seems Canadian's are o.k. with how government allocates limited health care resources.

We work with representatives in the government. If enough of us want change, we pressure our respective parties to foster it. Many of us would like to see improvements to the system, but few of us would want it taken away.

It is never bad for people to have their fears addressed in an open and honest manner. I don't understand why people don't think this is an honest fear.

It's not an honest fear when people cling to the idea of "death panels." I agree that people's fears should be addressed openly, but it's not all that cut and dry when they're based on propaganda.
