That healthcare debate in the U.S. never had a single-payer program. For awhile it had a government option that was eliminated before the law passed. A "death panel [of] bureaucrats"[1] would be no more true after the ACA as it was before for insurance companies. The people who were using the Death Panel rallying cry were specifically talking about requiring "Medicare to pay for some end-of-life planning counseling sessions with a health care practitioner." This is different than what you're talking about and neither could describe that legislation as creating government death panels. It got many awards for "lie of the year."

I also tried searching for your widely claimed quote

Didn't try hard enough. "Aren't biologically fit" is the same as "biologically unfit" and I am pretty certain I remember the exact latter phrase appearing on the CNN home page, which is transient and wouldn't show up on search results anyway.
