What I find interesting in the Obamacare bill is the term 'palliative care' mention in the End of Life Counseling options.

In the Cali bill 'palliative care' is defined and expanded to include endings one life by denying food and water. Being that 'palliative care' already includes using drugs to induce 'terminal sedation', does anyone doubt that euthanasia is what is being slipped in the Obamacare bill under the umbrella term 'palliative care'?

And how long till it becomes mandatory?

To save costs to the taxpayer of course.

Palliative care, my a$$.

For the umpteenth time:

it's THE solution for the looming Baby Boomer Social Security-Medicare funding problem, few of them will survive their first health problem.

Yet AARP, baby boomers themselves.. seems like half the population is saying, Yes! Go 'bama. Hope and change!

I'm missing something, I guess.

I'd say to do it the old "Eskimo Way" and just send the elderly out to the glaciers to die.

No, wait... Global Warming has taken that option away. ;-)

Remember Bambi’s “town meeting” a few weeks ago where a woman asked whether her 100 yr old mother - who was fine, happy, up and about and active but needed a pacemaker and finally got one after her daughter convinced the doctors - would be able to get what she needed under Bambi’s plan, he essentially admitted that she wouldn’t be able to be treated. He said, literally, “well, we can’t pay for everyone and she should take more pain killers.”

It was a weird statement and also a total non-sequitur. The old lady wasn’t in pain, she just needed a surgical procedure to continue to be as active as she was. I thought this would be the call to arms for seniors all over the country, but apparently it wasn’t (of course, it wasn’t reported much by the press).

So when you hear palliative care, what you’re really hearing is euthanasia.

Very interesting, and in context of that same phrasing in the O-bill, absolutely terrifying.

Thanks for posting.
