Death panels
term used by Sarah Palin to describe commissions of bureaucrats, who would have decided whether Americans—such as her elderly parents or children with Down syndrome—were "worthy of medical care", after ACA law approval
Death panels are hypothetical committees that would ration medical care; they were at the center of the healthcare reform controversy in the United States in 2009.
