Today's free-market death panels of the insurance companies

The Ed Show on Aug. 27th hosted a journalist, Froma Harrop, who revealed how the free-market health insurance companies, as currently constituted, are the real death panels. While 18,000 people die prematurely from lack of access to health care, there are many insured Americans who are denied treatment from their health insurance companies and as a result die from lack of treatment. Ms. Harrop spoke of her husband's difficulty in getting his liver cancer treated and that the delay imposed by their health insurance company could have been the factor in his death.

Another good source of the extent of the free-market death panels is Michael Moore's Sicko.
