>>and even I thought she was exaggerating when she spoke of death panels...

Serious question: if Medicare has a $47T unfunded deficit, will the inevitable eventual failure be overseen by what you call Death Panels deciding whose grandma will be left to die to preserve $ for more deserving cases, or will society run away like bankers so that doctors and nurses end up in Zimbabwe conditions to try to spread scarce dollars while effectively acting as society's executioners, or how will you handle the millions of elderly who fiercely protect their own assets, vote en masse and clearly see nothing wrong with screwing the young to pay for medicare whose current recipients refused to fund it adequately through their own taxes? Make sure to reply in a single sentence of similar length to the above. ;-)
