Vermont went single-payer Commiecare™. This only speeds up the savings.

I may never understand why leftists desire to kill themselves and others by the quickest means possible.

A friend of mine whose mother died at 94 after a cancer bout always said that she wishes her Mother didn't have to suffer the last 3 weeks. She said it was heart breaking especially the process the last few days. I am not saying that I agree with Euthanasia but it sure sucks the last six moths of people's lives in a lot of cases and the last month is the WORST.

What should one do when their spouse begs to be put out of their misery?

What a Brave New World Vermont has ahead of them. Really the ITS should be in charge of such a program because of their known compassion.

The patient’s physicians must agree that the patient’s diagnosis is terminal and that the patient is capable of informed consent. In order to be prescribed the lethal drugs, patients must request them three times, with a 15-day period between the requests, and then self-administer.

Why self-administer? Are they admitting a moral wrong doing if the physician administered for them? And what would that wrongdoing be? There is an admission of evil here but no remedy for it. The physician still cooperates in murder, just one step removed. It is only NOT murder because the state arbitrarily decides to define it that way.

If competent, why have to ask three times separated over 15 days? Here is another admission of evil in this law. They appear to be afraid of making a mistake over competency but so what? Why be afraid of the mistake if the life has no meaning? There are now two classes of citizens here, the competent and the incompetent.

Palliative care is pretty good at keeping the pain as controlled as possible. I understand that is a broad statement, but for the most part it is true. I have experienced end of life care for three relative in the past year. None of them suffered to the point where I felt the need to kill them.

Of course, others mileage may vary.

The key is to take some time to understand the pain options before you get into the middle of it. No one needs to die in pain.

Maybe Shumlin should prove his sincerity on this issue by volunteering to be the first “beneficiary”.Stick out your arm,pal,let them start the IV.At first you'll feel nothing...then you'll start to feel sleepy...and then you'll find out if God really *does* exist and what He thinks of some of your words and deeds during your life.

Last November Massachusetts,while giving Osama Obama and Princess Liawatha 60% of the vote,actually voted against an “assisted suicide” question on the ballot.I wonder how Vermonters would vote in a referendum.Of course the state legislature couldn't care less.

In Holland, nurses are certified by the State to do euthanasia. Predictably and when polled confidentially, they do euthanasia in many instances WITHOUT consent -murder. That’s the slippery slope here, it’s unavoidable.

Hmm guns kill people but pills just let them slip away.

twisted world we live in.
