Medicare is a huge part of the cost, but severe problems with Medicare doesn't equal a crisis in health care. There is a lot of health care outside of medicare. If the problem, or at least the problem that could be serious enough to maybe consider a crisis, is in Medicare, than the accurate and reasonable description of the issue is problems, crisis, whatever, with Medicare. Saying "the health care crisis" implies a crisis for the whole thing. <<<<<n any case I don't call limits on what the government will spend to support someone "death panels". Your not ordering their deaths>>>> That's exactly what you are doing. No its not what I'm doing, and it isn't even what the government would be doing. Not paying for X, even when you need X to live, is not ordering your death.
