Guns don't kill people, people kill people!
The living will is NOT, by itself, the problem!
The problem is an anti-life, anti-human rights administration intent on cutting health care costs by killing off sick people!
There is a CONFLICT OF INTEREST here, the government should NOT be involved in this!
Your references to encouragements of hospitals and States to encourage final directives and living wills is TOTALLY ridiculous and without merit! For one thing, as it sits today, any of us can take a case to Federal Court, for denial of our RIGHTS, if we are denied treatment based on age or disability -—
HOWEVER, under the Obama-Pelosi plan, we have NO LEGAL REDRESS, the Courts are DENIED JURISDICTION in any case of denial of care!
Have you READ the bill?
And that’s a key point.
With private insurance, you have recourse (depending on the state) via arbitration and/or the steps of the courthouse, if you or a loved one is denied care.
Under this plan, your recourse is:
nada
nothing
and you damn well better learn to like it, besides.
