There is no problem with people doing this for themselves, with their Doctor, you know, the one they chose, and their familites...it's when statists and others want to interject government and their "complete lives" calculations and government bureaucrats and "stake holders" that is the issue.
With me and most people I know.
Here's a clue. If you want top consult with the government on your end of life issues...knock yourself out. But don't try and force it on me and mine or most folks I know.
My mother has severe diminsia. She's 84 years old and we take care of her and get her the treatment she needs. Ezekiel believes such people should not get any treatment.
We have done this for five years and my mother has interacted with her great grandkids...and they with her. Government will not deprive me of that experience as long as I draw breath. God may...and I have faith in Him and His timing and control of such matters. But not the governemtn.
Obama/Dems are masters at double speak, remember it all depends on what the definition of “is” is.
There was a segment today on the news about cancer treatments. Many of them are about to CLOSE down because they should be paid my Medicare and they are NOT being paid. They still have to pay salaries, rent, utilities, drugs, equipment bills, etc. But Medicare is not paying them as they should. And they said MOST cancer treatment centers in the USA may have to close soon.
Just can’t wait till Fed gov is running ALL hospitals.
If I were a doctor I would just REFUSE this! Just refuse until Obama care goes away.
