But those Palin death squads, well she was right on that one.
^^^
Just imagine the hat is made of foil.
I was looking forward to a response to my question, but since none is forthcoming, I'll expand.
First, I believe Palin talked of "death panels", not "death squad".
Second, what precisely did she say about death panels?
Speaking about the proposed ACA, Palin claimed that the Democrats would cut health care costs by "rationing care", and went on to say: "And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care.
Of course, time and common sense proved that the ACA did not include any legislative language around death panels, as Palin claimed it did. That means she was not just wrong, but that she lied about it, since she claimed to have seen it in the proposed legislation.
And given that she was wrong, your statement linking a British court case to a fictitious ACA element is even more wrong.
Palin's whole claim is even more despicable, though, because it's her party which tries at every turn to limit health care.
Pretty broad and unsubstantiated claim to make, based on one case that doesn't involve "socialism", but rather the British legal system.
You do know that the American courts could make the same decision, right? And you do know that the infant mortality rate in the US is almost twice as high as that in the UK, right?
The "socialist" UK does a far better job at keeping children health and alive than the USA.
Are you aware that american life expectancy is dropping?

Or is it because they are stupid?
Do you equate the health care system with “doctors”, and equate poor health outcomes with “terrible doctors”?
I think there is much you don’t understand about health care.

I think this issue has nothing to do with universal healthcare systems, so I'm not even going to bother addressing that.
