You obviously have never had to sit with a lvoed one and write and advanced health care directive. If you do not have one in place the doctors will do what they want. These are legitamate questions that are asked a person when they are rational and can consider all options.A health care proxy is a much better choice in this matter. I sat with my mother when she was dying with my whole family around the table. My eldest sister was her health care proxy that knew beliefs and wishes. No document can be written to make the all the difficult choices. None.

Let’s have some of our senators and congresscritters forego medical care first and show the rest of us how it’s done.
Byrd, Kennedy, Specter.....any volunteers???

THAT is exactly WHY this should never be allowed to be forced on the American people. If A person has a reasonable expectation of Death in the near future. As much as families hate the thought, the person should sit them down and say LISTEN to ME. ONE person chosen by the ill person should be in charge of all decisions. And put it in writing. At least the person will know that someone that cares about them is making the decisions...not some faceless monster bureaucrat

“m. I can no longer think clearly-I am confused all the time.”
Disgusting! The circled items speak for themselves. If one is always confused would one have the clarity to answer ‘m?’ The wrong medication or other complications could add to this factor.
The most important assessment is the medical prognosis. It is up to the the patient/family and medical team to decided on a case by case basis ... NOT THE GOVERNMENT.

It’s obvious what the Obama administration is trying to do here...guilt vets into offing themselves for the ‘greater good’. It is despicable and evil! Geez...no wonder our vets get depressed!
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT BUSH FOR SEEING THE EVIL INHERENT IN THIS ‘FORM’! Obama is a cold calculating man.

Those questions are cold and suggestive. I used legalzoom.com to do a family member's will and living will, and the questions were nothing like that.
I also made sure that family member sat on them for awhile to make sure the choices were well understood and thought over.
Fortunately, that family member survived the operation, and will probably outlive me.

I never, in my wildest dreams, think that there would come a day such as this. Serve your country, get served with this. WAKE UP AMERICA!

"being a financial burden"
This is the heart of Obama's healthcare plan. Make everyone feel guilty for living over the age of 65.
