Yes, they would.

Obama's healthcare bill though makes a new health panel (Run by Peter Orzsag, 11 Government officials) that will institute federally mandated rationing that cannot be challenged.

And as you said previously, Insurance companies denial of care has led to many deaths throughout the years, this new panel which is meant to ration (I.E. Deny care) will lead to many more deaths.

I'm not a fan of HMO-style managed care, but properly handled it can (in theory) help reign in the high cost of health care while ensuring the highest quality care for the greatest number.
This isn't about Sarah Palin. No one cares about Sarah Palin or what she says.

The question:

Does Obama's healthcare plan have a rationing panel?

Yes.

Fin.
