Death panels already exist within insurance companies. Ask any clinician about “prior authorizations”. I frequently have to fight with insurance about the utility of getting a brain MRI or standard of care medication for my patients with brain cancer.
Any poor person who voted Republican is a fucking idiot. >

You know what would solve this?
Universal healthcare. 
But noooooo. We Americans have a fucking hard on for paying a middleman absolutely fucktons of money to deny us medical procedures and aid when our doctors order it. We let non-medical professionals determine if a health issue that we suffer from is worth spending money on. 
All because Republicans convinced their fucking morons of a base that “death panels” are a thing and somehow, paying a corporation hand over fist is more expensive than paying taxes. Completely ignoring the fact that you could just go to your employer and say “Hey. Those premiums you were paying for me to have bullshit coverage? Yeah pay those to me directly now since my healthcare is covered by my taxes.”
It is so goddamn ridiculous.
Edit: Fixed typo.
