Can someone please splain me what an “end of life order” is?

Is this where you’re taken to be euthanized by doctor’s orders?

say it isn’t so.

I believe, but cannot state with certainty, that it is where the Dr. makes the decision to stop doing what he can to save your life. In other words, all life support is removed and no aid or medical care will be given to the patient.

Today, the year is 1984. Next year, it will be 1984. Last year, it was 1984.

You go every five years to discuss with a government official (by then all physicians will be govenment employees) and decide if you want antibiotics, food, water if you get “real” sick (there is no clear definition on that yet) So when you do get ill, stay at home and die please. And remember that Obama loves you. But please, die fast. He is in a hurry. If you happen to recuperate on your own using old wive’s treatments, fine, you haven’t cost the government health care plan. But you are using up Social Security funds so, yeah, die, quick.

An end-of-life order is any order given by you to your doctor concerning your treatment. It's not a term from the bill, but one I've heard before. It covers everything from a DNR to a living will that says, "Keep me alive as long as possible by any means possible."

I'd suggezst taking this list with a grain of salt. Ive read the section about these orders, and though it's quite unconstitutional it doesn't give anyone in government "a say in how ur life ends."

As far as i can tell, they talk about the orders for people who are older on social security. every 5 years it is mandatory that they talk to them about what type of health care proxy they want. who can be their proxy to talk for them if they cant talk for themselves. How much care they want, ie life support, drugs, iv feeding, or pull the plug if it looks bad etc.
But the language is not clear and end of life services can also easily be interpreted to mean assisted suicide

the whole bill is garbage and needs to be trashed.

KILL THE BILL - before it kills us!
