Then I guess the argument becomes that if the person can no longer pay the insurance premium how long are they obligated to cover the patient? Making coverage lifelong after a catastrophic incident would destroy the insurance industry and cause more deaths. Turning to the government compounds the problem.
We have to face the cold hard fact that there isn’t enough money in the insurance industry or in the government to keep every person alive. The best thing to do if a person cannot pay for care and is unlikely to recover is to make sure the death is quick and dignified. If god wants the person to pull through they will one way or the other. If you link a man up to a machine and that machine sustains him without hope of recovery then as far as I’m concerned your denying him his final rest.
As this country gets poorer and the debt problem compounds this will start to happen with death panels or not. The best thing to do is to consult with the family (if there is any) and the caring doctors to decide whether the expense of keeping someone hooked up is justified. No sane person would want his corpse to be kept warm to kill another individual who has a chance at life. As stated if the individual can pay for his own bed through family or personal savings then there isn’t a problem.
Unless god suddenly decides to shower us with enough wealth to keep these people alive then all of us have to face the fact that entropy always wins and life comes to an end.
The insurance companies write the policies themselves. If they can’t afford to provide the service they’re selling, we should not kill their customers to make the insurance companies solvent.
So, you not only support death panels you also support euthanizing people?

First of all God is spelled with a capital G, those who believe in Him rarely make the mistake that you did twice in your post.
Secondly, God has given us medical knowledge.

Now you seem to be a "duty to die" regardless of financial ability, is that correct?
As stated if the individual can pay for his own bed through family or personal savings then there isn’t a problem.
Why? You just declared that a "sane person" would want to die.
