Guys, I just read through the bill. Take a chill pill.
The section in question simply refers to the drafting of an advance directive that lets everyone (including your doctors) know what to do if you are incapacitated and cannot communicate your wishes regarding care. It also creates a requirement that the directive be updated every 5 years via one-on-one counseling. I have one, and so does my wife.
Look, folks, there is enough bad stuff in this bill without creating dangers that aren’t there. Think about it from the standpoint of someone who is “on the fence” regarding the health care bill. If you start jumping up and down about something, and it turns out to be nothing, then all warnings regarding government-run health care that we make start to seem over-wrought.

I agree with you that the bill does not directly promote assisted suicide counseling but I think the outrage is understandable.
As many others have pointed out....
The gov’t has no right or mandates for this and it is only a quick amendment tacked onto a future bill that could add more emphasis for “assisted suicide” into this monstrosity.
The trust is not there between citizens and the government and the FACT remains that the government is poised to take over the health care industry. The “outlandish” ideas can more easily be inserted after they gain control.
Ask yourself this.......
Did anyone 20 years ago think Americans would be voting on the definition of marriage?
These progressive ideas we suffer today all started with government/courts seizing power. I don’t doubt for a second that assisted suicide would not be viewed by many as a “solution” when the dollars dry up. We already have statements from other progressives promoting this.
Seeing, they see not; hearing, they hear not.
Wise up, the government is about to undertake the depopulation of mother earth.
Since when is it any of the government’s bloody business what my advance directives are like, or whether I have one at all? Do they own us now? Should I call them “massuh?”
Chill pill my ass.
