The end of life counseling, as written, would be *completely*
voluntary. I'm sympathetic to your situation, and you have my
condolences. It has to be a difficult time.


Please tell me how the word "shall" makes it voluntary??


Shall refers to what the counseling consists of. If you read the first
paragraphs, you will see that Sec. 1233 amends current law. To
understand Sec. 1233, it has to be placed in context.

Moreover, this is still America. We do not do eugenics. Democrats and
Republicans should be agreed on that.


It's not eugenics I am worried about. It is more on the financial end
for the family. Seems all medicare wants to do with dad is take his home
and send him off to die... We and his doctor see a year or two of
quality life at home as long as he doesn't get into too much pain. You
know damn well any government representative involved is going to be
bound by regulation as to what they can and can't suggest, and of course
all of that will be based on the bottom line..

The fool known here as JustWait thinks private health insurance
companies are driven by something other than the bottom line.

You have sucked up party line like a good follower.. I predict a huge
turn around again like 84... 3/4 of Americans are pretty upset at the
dems in congress right now...
Not only the Democrats in Congress, Congress as a whole. As for
1984, Reagan had a landslide victory, but it didn't translate to
Congress. Republicans actually lost two seats in the Senate.


Americans won't sit back while democracy is dismantled. Freedom of
speech is being assulted as we speak... They are keeping illegal lists
of the opposition and addressing them directly (very illegal and
unconstitutional), kind of a "we know who you are" thing. Attacking
private citizens from the Oval Office (illegal and cowardly) beating
up black detractors on sidewalks, hiring union thugs to keep control
at meetings, even The New Black Panther Party has been given free
reign to patrol voting stations with weapons, opposition news agencies
being called out from the Oval office, the list is almost endless
already.. And you all were worried about us tapping out of country
terrorists and a red herring "library card" law that in fact was never
used... . Americans won't take it for long, thank God.



Moron.


Go pound sand. You are the moron. Your unions are falling apart. Your
guy's "jam it down their throats" policy is finally meeting resistance
from Americans who are waking up to the administration's bullying
tactics. Wake up and realize that you are the one with oddball mindset.
It's been fun toying with you but this crap is getting old.
Bye! Plonk!

More bull**** from thunder. Isakson had nothing to do with the
language in the bill. Did you not know that? Have you been following
the wrong news reports?
