Doctors Providing End-Of-Life Counseling See Benefit In Current Controversy

Kaiser Health News reports on a House provision buried deep within its sweeping health reform bill, saying it may "appear innocuous" but has "ignited a firestorm among critics predicting government-sponsored euthanasia. The controversy, over proposed Medicare funding of end-of-life counseling, has come to epitomize some of people's deepest fears about the government's role in health care" (Marcy, 8/14).

This is just a stupid ammendment that was stuck on the bill, but has nothing to do with the current health plan being worked on. The Wingnuts and anti-healthcare politicians are using this as a way to get the public riled up over public health care.

Believe me, these people, since they're nothing but obstructionists and having nothing good to say or offer a decent alternative plan, should be tried and hung in gallows on the Capitol steps as treasonists. They having nothing nore that big pockets filled with the hands and geld from the big insurance companies who don't like this plan.
