Have you actually considered the ramifications of increasing government oversight of the medical profession?

Because that is what Obama is suggesting.

And when it comes to suicide or assisting suicide as a sin, that's really in God's bailiwick, not man's.

Ever thought about how ridiculous it is for suicide to be illegal? There's really not much you can do to punish a corpse. The only reason it's illegal is to give insurance companies a solid footing for their not paying out on a suicide's life insurance policy.

You seem to have reached the conclusion that since more oversight is bad, that less must be good. This is INCORRECT.

So I will ask again, have you even considered what will happen if government oversight of medical care is eliminated?

He has already spoken on that issue, "Thou shalt not kill."

I'm sure that's the culture of death's latest talking point. However, suicide was a crime thousands of years before life insurance even existed. Moreover, insurance companies DO pay off on suicide if the policy is old enough.
