What Does It Say About The Us That People Believe The New Health Care Bill Includes A Clause About Euthanasia?
A section of the bill would require Medicare to pay for voluntary counseling sessions helping seniors to plan for end-of-life medical care, including designating a health care proxy, choosing a hospice and making decisions about life-sustaining treatment. It would not require doctors to counsel that their patients refuse medical intervention. However, a number of GOP members have framed hospice care as Euthanasia.http://www.aarp.org/aarp/presscenter/pre…http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/…
Thoughts?
It says that those people are smarter than you in that they have read the bill instead of going to websites that are for orginizations that are biased in favor of the bill.
Are you really a sheep who does not look things up for yourself?
No, that is disengenuous. There are vague provisions in the bill about apolitical and unaccountable councils to determine reasonable and cost effective care. That, along with the fact that they are saying they will provide coverage to tens of millions of more people with 2/3 of costs coming from CUTTING bankrupt Medicare, PLUS what has happened in other countries with similar councils, PLUS the writings of Obama’s selected Health Care experts and ‘ethicists’ combines to make rationed care a practical certainty under Obamacare. To pretend otherwise is to be lying, frankly, and it is so obvious, people are pretty mad about it. Obama lost a lot of credibility at that health care press conference. The drop in polls was not about ‘Gates’.

It says at least some people have read it.
The House bill “may start us down a treacherous path toward government-encouraged euthanasia,” House Republican Leader John Boehner of Ohio said July 23.
Former New York Lt. Gov. Betsy McCaughey said in a July 17 article: “One troubling provision of the House bill compels seniors to submit to a counseling session every five years … about alternatives for end-of-life care.”
I’m more concerned about what it says about Americans when some of them actually believe Obama Care will improve things in this country. To me it proves that P.T. Barnum was right when he said there’s a Sucker born every minute.
