Someone claimed health insurance companies came up with “death panels”, I provided evidence and logic to the contrary.
No one is ranting, but there does seem to be a lot of “I feel like this could have happened, so I am going to choose to believe this happened because it confirms my priors”.
That's not correct. The OP said that
>we let insurance companies label government triage as "death panels"
Who said the term first doesn't matter. Who popularized it does. Insurance lobbyists and the conservative politicians they funded did.
And I see no sources that insurance companies had anything to do with it, just assertions.
