I don’t see it. There is a lot of talk about ‘advance care planing’ which is establishing in advance what sort of extent you would like physicians to take with your life if you are unable to make those decisions yourselves. You sign similar papers today when you have surgery. I don’t see ‘assisted suicide.’
There is plenty to scream about in this bill. Let’s not make stuff up.
She sees young people, her own, as wanting to kill her.
This is immoral folks, downright immoral. They are killing people by even proposing this.
Eject the false Obama, he is an emissary of Satan.
WTF???
I’m seeing all sorts of requirements for consultations on end-of-life treatment, development of Living Wills, etc., starting on p.425. Really bad, intrusive, statist, Orwellian stuff. But I’m not seeing pushing of suicide or anything of the sort. Perhaps some other Freeper will note some detail that has escaped me.
Mea cupla
Obama is following Adolf Hitlers play book. He’s dividing people into classes, determining what people are more worthy, and what people are less. He appointed a man to oversee Environmental issues who believes in FORCED abortion, and sterilization. He has taken over the banks, the auto industry, health care, and...is about to take over the media. Now we find out that he wants to encourage older Americans to commit suicide. Any of this sound familiar yet? Now, Bush was not the greatest President, but Obama makes him look more and more like Ronald Reagan every day.
Barry Obama got a taste for it while an Illinois state senator, working to keep the law from stopping the killing of just born alive infants, murdered via purposed neglect which sometimes took up to eight hours to kill the struggling to breath little boy or girl.
The bill doesn’t say what the author claims. I mean if you really twist it and squint your eyes you might be able to find a way to claim it says it, but it really doesn’t.
When it fails they can blame congress and say," Well we tried."
I don’t see that in the bill. It talks about advance care planning, but that isn’t about assisted suicide, it’s about dealing with terminal illnesses and when to cease taking extraordinary measures.
There is no source for this. Your link goes to the show page ... but doesn’t say which transcript, or who make this statement.
Without it, the assertion is worthless.
Listen to the interview.
Agreed 100%. I read pages 425-440 and saw nothing even close to suicide or euthanasia.
I’m glad we went to the source. We nearly got took.
NO elected senators or representatives will ever read this HUGE bill....and it will be RUSHED to a vote before a recess. People better wake up!
Should this thread be yanked? I think it’s misleading, and that’s being generous.
If you read down the thread you would see I referred you to the interview with Betsy McCaughey Patient Advocate and Founder of the Committee to Reduce Invectious Deaths
At least it will help save money by killing Democrats.
