Also like other people have said it's kinda nonsense to fear monger about death panels when that concept is real, but it's private insurance providers denying claims.

That's always been the reason why there was fear mongering over death panels to begin with. "Every accusation is a confession" is true because attacking your opposition for the thing you're already doing is an effective propaganda tactic for mudding the water.
