House GOP Probes HHS’ Sebelius On ‘End-Of-Life’ Rule

IBD's Capital Hill ^ | 3/14/2011 | David Hogberg

IBD has received a letter from Republicans on the Energy and Commerce Committee to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius requesting information on “the improper inclusion of a proposal to encourage end-of-life planning in a Medicare regulation in the fall of 2010.”

Late last year, a controversy erupted when in November a set of final regulations for Medicare contained a provision enabling Medicare to pay for “end-of-life” counseling. A furor ensued over the fact that (1) this raised the entire “death panel” specter again; and (2) the provision was not in the proposed regulations released in August, thereby shielding the provision from the lengthy public comment period that is supposed to follow proposed regulations.

How does SHE have the authority to rewrite and initiate law that has been previously determined?

Exactly what power does she have?

This sounds completely unconstitutional~!

What can we do?

None of us want a government committee determining if our life is worth living. We do NOT want certain people, most especially of the LIBERAL SLANT, within our government deciding whether the people we love are going to live or die.(ie. worthy of receiving medical care or NOT receiving medical care! !

That woman makes me SICK! Who made her the boss of our own personal medical decisions?

I’m not sure most jihadis are as dedicated to seeing Americans dead as Sebelious is. She is one cold witch.

She was also big buddies with George Tiller “The Killer” and had awarded him all kinds of accolades.

I know that’s why I said that. She seems to have a lifelong preoccupation with having American citizens killed. Primarily the most helpless ones.
