Mandatory End of Life Counseling for Seniors

One of the most outrageous mandates in the Democratic health care bill is found on page 416. [Mod note: try pp 425-426] On this page, you will see mandatory “end of life” counseling for seniors every five years. With this counseling, they will be spoken to about the different end of life choices that can be undertaken.

This is crazy. How could some Democrat not get an amendment approved during committee to remove this page of the new health care legislation?

This is only one outrage contained in this bill. If Obama has his way, forcing this bill to be voted on next week without members and citizens to actually see what is in it, we will definitely be surprised the next time we try to go see a doctor.

Call Democrat Mike Ross and ask him to stop this bill in committee. Also tell him you’ll donate to his campaign and do so, after he stops this bill. The energy committee must pass the bill to get it to the floor. There are many conservative Dems on that committee. Only 7 are needed to kill it. They had 10 yesterday. They need your support. Two other committees already passed it today. We need to call today. Also, can someone else post the names of other blue dog Dems on that committee? Thanks.

You can see the entire 1018 page health care bill here.

Prayer for Those Who Are Terminally Ill

 
Lord Jesus, you healed so many people during your public ministry. I bring before you now, in prayer, all those who are terminally ill -- those afflicted with cancer, AIDS, and other illnesses.
 
Look lovingly and compassionately upon them. Let them feel the strength of your consolation. Help them and their families to accept this cross they are asked to carry.  Protect them from euthanasia, Lord.
 
Let them see you carrying their cross with them, at their side, as you once carried yours to Calvary. May Mary be there, too, to comfort them. 
 
Lord Jesus, I know and believe that, if it is your will, you can cure those I pray for (especially N.). I place my trust in you. I pray with faith, but I also pray as you did in Gethsemane: your will be done. 
 
Bless us, Lord, and hear my prayer. Amen.

That is a weird document but I seem to remeber my dad had to sign something similiar.

My 82-year old father had two hernias repaired a couple years ago, six months apart. Took a few hours both times - he walked into the daytime surgery and walked out. Piece of cake. He took pain medication, vicodan, for a couple days to help him sleep, but didn’t experience much pain otherwise.

Now he’s back to walking the dog and playing contract bridge.

Good luck, and here’s hoping your surgery goes as smoothly!

I got sent a poll by Zogby the other day asking if I would consent to have chips implanted in my brain, three different questions about it. Plus there were very personal questions about my political views. No way was I sending them that.

Unparalleled horror rides into our lives and the lives of our loved ones. Our Rule Of Law and ethics are under ferocious assault by The Evil Ones.

That’s a death threat right there. It’s self defense to kill the counselor.

We need to offer end of life options to every DNC member.

Sure sounds like gobbledeegook leaving open the option for the “State” to terminate life to me

The wording is very reasonable but what I suspect this is all about is that government-paid social workers (i.e. salespeople) will sympathetically guide patients and family members to sign on to the easiest (for the state-workers) treatments and care while they still thinking they might not need anything more.

I agree with you. I ran out of time to append that point to the end of my comment.

The idea of government-run universal healthcare is unacceptable in its own right.

What the bill text says, however, is not what it is being made out to be. THAT was my central point.

“So where is the AARP?”

Last I saw they were yucking it up with the antichrist in the rose garden.

Yup, I too suspect that during counselling, I'll appear to be “confused and disoriented” and unable to make end of life decisions for anyone but the counselor who should have known better than to take a job where you have to deal with people like me.

Bwahahahahahahaha! (he cackled hideously as he stretched the counselor's neck into a pretzel like phenomenon).

The story is Rahm Emanuel's evil brother (a medical ethicist) wrote all this stuff. I just knew the true Anti-Christ would eventually reveal his hand, and there he is. Poor Rahm, controlled by his brother, made to manipulate poor Axelrod who in turns manipulates poor Obama.

Think of this as a "daisy chain" of sorts, with each individual being controlled by the one behind him in a long chain that finally reaches the "real deal" ~
