I'm against Obamacare, but this is very unfair and misleading. People die, and the opportunity for humane end-of-life planning can be extraordinarily helpful for both the patient and the family members. This is also an opportunity to give the patient a real choice between a peaceful and supportive last days, or weeks of useless, expensive cancer treatments that often speed up the patient’s death, rather than extend their life, inflicting more misery on the family members as well. Don't get on the wrong side of this argument. Big money moves a lot of the recommended late-stage treatments, not humanity.

You get a bonus for every peasant who croaks.

This is all a lie. I know it because it was Sarah Palin who warned us about death panels from the beginning. And Sarah Palin just can't know what she's talking about because...well, because the elites keep telling me so.

The satanic left wouldn't lie, would they?

Ah, so now there’s actual bonus payments for offing “too expensive” seniors.

was there ever any doubt?

I get it that people should not be denied medications or treatments that improve or extend their lives. I also get it that there's no way to pay for the medical care if there aren't some restraints on what's covered.

It's a dilemma we discussed in philosophy class in college in the 1960s. What happens when medical treatment gets so expensive that there's no way to cover its costs, except for the very wealthy? We've reached that point. The only answer would be to find less expensive treatment options.

Instead, big pharma is doing everything in its power to stifle natural and inexpensive treatments.

There was never any doubt about this.
I knew they would use our money to pay for abortions, aids treatment, sex “change” operations, and hasty deaths for the elderly.

The veterinary term is “Final Care.”

I see MANDATORY Planned Death Seminars in our future which includes making a decision NOW.

In a country where it’s legal for parents to murder their children, it’s only a matter of time before it’s legal for children to murder their parents.

It’s going to happen, and the ACA only speeds that time.
