Long before the first Republican mentioned a “death panel,” private health insurance companies already had the same thing. And because Medicare was already a thing, the government also had the equivalent of death panels.
No, the truth is that “death panel” is just a scary sounding phrase and never had any real relevance. I’ve noticed that conservatives don’t use words for their meanings. They use them for how scary they sound.
That definitely tracks neuroscience’s finding that conservatives over-express fear in general. Probably one of the reasons why they cannot understand liberals.
