One of the most outrageous mandates in the Democratic health care bill is found on page 416. [Mod note: try pp 425-426] On this page, you will see mandatory “end of life” counseling for seniors every five years. With this counseling, they will be spoken to about the different end of life choices that can be undertaken.
This is crazy. How could some Democrat not get an amendment approved during committee to remove this page of the new health care legislation?
This is only one outrage contained in this bill. If Obama has his way, forcing this bill to be voted on next week without members and citizens to actually see what is in it, we will definitely be surprised the next time we try to go see a doctor.
Call Democrat Mike Ross and ask him to stop this bill in committee. Also tell him you’ll donate to his campaign and do so, after he stops this bill. The energy committee must pass the bill to get it to the floor. There are many conservative Dems on that committee. Only 7 are needed to kill it. They had 10 yesterday. They need your support. Two other committees already passed it today. We need to call today. Also, can someone else post the names of other blue dog Dems on that committee? Thanks.

Page 16 is the page where they outlaw private health insurance for individuals.
No, I’m not kidding.
True. However...
The government has no business requiring me to have a living will.
The government has no business requiring me to discuss this matter with anyone.
Hussein keeps it up and he won’t be able to carry Florida with an endorsement from Mickey Mouse.

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
“...mandatory “end of life” counseling for seniors ...”
...mandatory “end your life” counseling for seniors ...
Fixed.
No, by definition it is not. Palliative care involves making the living comfortable. I know that there's euthanasia as a goal behind the provisions of this bill, but let's not sully the name of an honorable area of practice by associating it with murder.
The AARP promotes ObamaCare every chance they get. They are fully in league with Obama. AARP is a fraud.
I seriously doubt that...but otherwise you're 100% dead on.
I now advise my clients to have an advance directive to emphasize they want everything done to preserve their lives (if that is what they want) esp if they are Catholic like Terri Schiavo was. And that their spouse is not necessarily the best one to have as their medical agent — because if the woman is married to a tightwad he may not spend the money to keep her going and if her kids are waiting for their dough, they may not have her best interest in mind either.......
I AGREE! The government is our overlord.....or wants to be....
Medically you are correct. Legally, well, check a couple of posts I made after doing some research:

The California bill mentioned in these legally defines suicide by starving as part of the definition of ‘palliative care’
The precendent is set.
The AARP promotes ObamaCare every chance they get. They are fully in league with Obama. AARP is a fraud.
AARP was bought off. They sell medical insurance and the rumor is they are being promised big bucks if ObamaCare goes through - that they will become a (sub)contractor to help run the govt plan.
“Just found it. These people are going to try and kill off the baby boomer generation. They will do their best to make old people feel like ‘burdens on society’ and get them all signing these ‘orders’..PUSHED INTO THESE ORDERS!
This is an OUTRAGE!”
We are here from the government and we are here to help you on the next part of your journey. Praise Obama!
“Is driving your car off the edge of the Grand Canyon one of the choices?”
Only if it’s a Government Motors vehicle.
No insurance replacement option is available however.
I can’t imagine the geezers in the senate going for this.

Why would any US Senator care? They have a different government health plan and will not be affected in the least should this pass.
I’m Catholic, but I voted for Sarah Pa....er, I mean, I voted for the white haired dude. What was his name? Oh, that’s right, John McCain, I think that was his name.

Yes, I have faith in Jesus, too, but I also have faith in Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson.
This bill ought to be re-named “The American Genocide Introduction Act”. BTW: I will rebel against this bill by not taking part in any government program, and if necessary leave for “greener pastures”. I will also defend those this bill wishes to kill, including the unborn and elderly!!
Look under "M" for Murder!
