Indeed, the insurance companies deserve a ton of blame too. They rightly have death panels but use scare tactics to keep people away from gov health insurance that does the same. Still, theyre playing by the rules the gov came up with. Fee for service is a horrible healthcare strategy and insurance is forced into it.
Do HMOs charge themselves fees?

The "Death panel" thing was the primary boogeyman when the ACA was being discussed. But like the comment says, that already exists, just in private form instead of government.
