Remember all the hysteria over "death panels" during the ACA debates? Fooled you, they were already here, invented by insurance companies.

They paired that with a ton of bullshit about "corporate efficiency" vs " government corruption". It was one of the biggest Anarcho-Capitalist PR coups in my life.

That’s why I’m very open about who decided when my mom died. The government didn’t choose, her doctor didn’t choose, and neither her nor her family chose. You get three resurgences of cancer, that’s what the insurance company decided.
