Take a firearm and teach the counselors more about the subject.
I don’t see it explained as stated. If I’m wrong, please correct me with the correct passage.
BTW, End of Life, as we are talking about, begins on page 431.
Page 431&432.
” Yeah. It’s really simple. “We aren’t going to give you the treatment you need so to make the dying process a little more palatable, here’s some counseling.” “
Yes, that’s exactly what it’s going to be. Unless you’re a Kennedy or some other American Royalty.
Molon Labe.
If this bill becomes law we will need to go to RED ALERT!!! Just keeping the sci-fi theme going. ;)
They will exempt themselves.
Kind of the way Fidel and Raul are exempt from the rules of their "top-notch" state-run medical system.
If this abortion of our constitutional rights (life, liberty and all that jazz) passes, I also envision the government finding a way to force any recalcitrant MDs into getting a high percentage of their old patients to sign on the dotted line to go into the wood chipper for the "greater good."
I can see the government penalizing MDs with a low percentage of elderly patients agreeing to be euthanized... for instance, if an MD has fewer than 50% (a random number, pulled out of my paranoid, right-wing imagination) of his elderly patients signed up for the wood chipper, then he (or she, the MD) will only get 15% (another randomly chosen number) of the standard reimbursement.
Heck, I could also see a special "bonus" going to the lucky MD who has 75% or more of his elderly patients agreeing to government euthanasia.
Can we recall a president?
“So where is the AARP?
My guess is they are sponsors.”
Wouldn’t be surprised. After reading the text, I’d bet that AARP sees this as helpful to Seniors who have questions about living wills, nursing homes etc.
But, once again, seems like the government and the proponents of this Administration seem to believe that most Americans are too stupid to think and make decisions for themselves...(hmmmm, maybe they’re basing this assumption on the results of the last election...maybe some truth to this...).
As mentioned by another poster....making this MANDATORY is chipping away another piece of our freedom.
Further, just how do they intend to enforce this?? Not to mention the cost to insurance companies....i suspect this would be a required benefit. We are living in Bizarro world but it’s not at all funny.
I am going to puke now. Satan is behind this.
Can't see many of them doing that, but their families really need to watch out for them and attend such sessions, if possible. What concerns me are the so-called privacy statements put out by the medical industry--they are okay now, but will they be in the way when the children want to help their parents?
In NYS, if you are hospitalized you are hounded by the social worker to sign the DNR orders (do not resuscitate). You could be hanging off the bed but they want to know immediately if you are not conscious what to do. What is being recounted in the article is indeed a living will of sorts, only now it will be universal.
They’ll be pretty ticked if the have to sit in a shrinks office for counseling about it

That is exactly what these Communists hope for. That the most people will be is ticked off. How about saying NO and refusing? I am tending to agree with some on here. Too many have gone soft and are willing to accept whatever they are told to do. I’m not one of them. I will leave this country and never come back before I will live as a slave to the government.

who’s thinking this stuff up? I don’t think they offer that counseling at Planned Parenthood.
I can’t imagine the geezers in the senate going for this.

As if they ever read all the way to 425. Reid admitted that if any of them ever read every page of every bill they would never get anything passed. How sick is that?
Right. And the new rules have no HIPPA waiver clause. Therefore by default it prohibits any family members to be present during the mandatory arm-twisting consultation.
Good point. Why don't they give the mothers such counseling before killing their babies?
They have been calling members in New England asking them to call their Congressman and to urge them to vote AGAINST ObamaCare.
I think the Democratic congress better be look into end of life counseling because they apparently don’t realize how close they are getting to their own end of life.
