Jonathan Cohn Tells Colbert: Your Insurance Policy Has A "Death Panel" (VIDEO)

Jonathan Cohn made a clear, concise case for health care reform on "The Colbert Report" Tuesday night.

Asked why he wanted to "kill grandma" with a death panel, Cohn responded: "There are no death panels ... I find this really obscene." He whipped out the "Colbert Report" policy and pointed out that included end-of-life counseling. When Cohn said that health insurance reform would actually help the sick and disabled, not kill them, Colbert responded, "You're just playing the sick and disabled card."

Cohn concluded that the huge amount of waste in the health care system means there's "more than enough money" to cover the uninsured.
