I don't think its that feasible, or that even the attempt is likely. But playing devil's advocate - What could happen is that almost everyone is denied certain things, but then people with connections call someone and get around the denial. Of course that would only work when you conscious and have the time to call someone (well maybe someone else can call for you). Also its not just Democrats who have connections.

We have already been through this. Ok, using current characters: Lets say the wife of the White House occupant, Michelle Obama, had cancer. Lets say it was pancreatic cancer with a life expectancy of 18 months. Obviously the death panel is going to reject anything buy palliative care for that prognosis. Do you think that there is greater than a zero percent probability that she would be denied every possible care option?
