I suspected that the sc*mbag insurance companies were behind the scences orchestrating the death culture big time (along with government Medicare/Medicaid bureaucrats). And sure enough, here it is.
I think certainly that insurance companies and the gov't are involved. Euthanizing people is a tricky issue though. Usually, its what medicare will pay for that causes insurance companies to decide what they are going to pay. To avoid a perception of the gov't looking too nazi like, the insurance companies are taking the lead on this one. Call me a mad tin-foil hatter, but I think there is a concerted plan already in action for acceptance of euthanasia as part of the future of health care, you betcha.
