'Death panels' is a term made popular by Sarah Palin to describe panels (run by the government) that would decide whether or not particular people would receive medical care or not for their maladies. These were nicknamed 'death panels', as they might have to make some decisions to decide whether to keep particular patients on life support or not.

'Death panels' also exist in the form of insurance company insurance reviewers. These companies decide whether or not to fund medical care for patients. Unfortunately, under some interpretations of law these corporations are lawfully bound to try to make as much money as possible. So the focus is on making money and not preserving the health or life of a patient whom has become a liability. Many insurance claims are outright rejected the first time they are applied for without being looked at, or delayed until the patient dies, thus saving the company money.
