RE: H.R. 3200: America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009 and Its Impact on Senior Citizens
Dear Senator Diaz,
Thank you for asking me to participate in the New York State Senate Aging Committee’s hearing regarding H.R. 3200, “America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009.” You and I share a commitment to ensuring that our health care system is not “reformed” at the expense of America’s senior citizens.
I have been vocal in my opposition to Section 1233 of H.R.3200, entitled “Advance Care Planning Consultation.”[1] Proponents of the bill have described this section as an entirely voluntary provision that simply increases the information offered to Medicare recipients. That is misleading. The issue is the context in which that information is provided and the coercive effect these consultations will have in that context.
Section 1233 authorizes advanced care planning consultations for senior citizens on Medicare every five years, and more often “if there is a significant change in the health condition of the individual … or upon admission to a skilled nursing facility, a long-term care facility… or a hospice program.”[2] During those consultations, practitioners are to explain “the continuum of end-of-life services and supports available, including palliative care and hospice,” and the government benefits available to pay for such services.[3]

Thanks for the ping. Git er done, Governor!
Sarah is something......a true heacey weight....this piece ends any speculation about her gavitas
heacey+heavey
She adds dimension, common sense, a great lack of arrogance and 'false bravado', and relates with that special depth of integrity and honor that provides clarity over obfuscation; she does not need to lie.
And not needing to bend the truth or LIE helps us to separate a person with strong core values from a person with a popularity complex or an ambition addiction, imo.
GO SARAH!!!!
When I read this I had to laugh. The President is asking all the students to work hard at school...etc... and Sarah puts together, basically a properly noted, properly researched “paper”, the kind we would hope all students/journalists would do and it freaks the leftist out. Go figure...
Written with an excellent clarity of purpose.....
Heavey?
Heavy.
Her heavey bosom?
Her heaving bosom?
Her heavy heaving bosom?
I, of course, have never misspelled or used a wrong word in a post (not!). Just kidding with you, Wizard. Along the lines of “stuned & beeber”.
Sarah slaps Obozo with the truth again!
What’s not to like about this woman?
Her heavey bosom?
Her heaving bosom?
Her heavy heaving bosom?
Her heavy pendulous Beebers?
Zoftig!
That’s funny!
We have a cat named Beeber (name morphed from Abdul Habib, terrorist). I'm having trouble trying to stop laughing at the mental images.
