Mandatory End of Life Counseling for Seniors

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.

Here is the problem ....
‘‘(5)(A) For purposes of this section, the term ‘order

15 to an individual, an actionable medical order relating to
16 the treatment of that individual that—

The “order” that goes along with your medical records.
There doesn't seem to be any requirement that the patient see it or even know it is there.
So .... some “dr” signs off .. and so do you.

It does say the order should indicate the patients preference, but I don't see that as a requirement .
Do you?

The Congress is more than willing to let DEAD voters stay on the registration rolls.

They are more than willing to accept the votes of these DEAD voters.

NOW-—they wanmt to kill us off earlier than God plans for us, and they will be more than willing to use our names and votes on into the future!!!

Bill Ayers has contributed to this idea... I am convinced of that!

My brother in law has severe Aphasia, due to a bike accident. He is severely disabled (for now). Once tidbits like this get out in the public realm, his wife might have to take those Obama stickers off of her car. They are in for a rude awakening.
