he's referring to Sarah Palin, and while "death panels" is a tad hyperbolic, the stimulus bill set up committees that would establish cost and benefit guidelines for treatment that would be based on life expectancy, cost of medication, and so forth

edit:

also, it's estimated by either the CBO or GAO (not sure which) that even after the ACA is fully implemented, 30 million will still be without coverage, so the ACA solves nothing

We already have cost/benefit analysis. Regardless, my goal was not to throw stones as Palin, but just to point out that all sides engage in a dangerous rhetoric game that obscures the truth. Both sides guilty and both sides need the boot.
