I've said this before here but I'll say it again: anyone screaming about "death panels" and the like is completely ignorant of how health insurance companies conduct business as well as completely ignorant of the news stories that pop up about every six months about someone nearing death because a health insuror won't approve a possibly life-saving procedure.
Dunedan - a public option would ration healthcare no more or less than private companies. If you don't understand that, then you don't really understand how health insurance works in the first place.
