>“Yes...They are going to push SUICIDE to cut medicare spending!!! And no, I am NOT SH—ing YOU!”
Whoever said this is full of horse throw. Take a look at this, assuming it’s what’s being used for a source, and show me where it says anything about assisted suicide, let along pushing assisted suicide.

It would be wise to check the source before posting things like this. Otherwise, a persons credibility suffers.<

“You have a different version apparently, and you didn;t read on to the next page.”
On the contrary, I read page 425, and many pages thereafter. Please take the trouble to read what you have provided to me. If you would be kind enough, please point out where this legislation pushes assisted suicide, or even mentions suicide. I certainly don’t see anything that supports suicide. In fact, it is not even mentioned. Did you quote the proper section? I’m not finding it. Are you confusing palliative care or hospice care with assisted suicide? As you are probably aware, they are certainly not the same thing.
