Clearly, Palin used the term in a more general sense, the way you, and most people, think of it - as [more institutionalized, rigid] rationing of services. I don't think that usage was clear at all. In fact, it makes no sense. We have institutionalized rationing of services now. They appear in the lists of what is covered and what isn't. Neither Palin or anyone else has ever called them "death panels" until now. So she must have been either talking about something other than that or she was instigating outrage with her hyperbole.
