Okay, at first you said dr's would do the counselling. "a provision for doctors to counsel patients into accepting suicide rather than medical care. " See, I don't see that happening. The group of gov't swine in a little room making these decisions is more believable but I'd look for mind battering lawsuits to follow.
Obama is a dirt incrusted blow hole and I remember that statement, as well as the one about 'What do they want me to do? Build them a moat?' Along with that instant classic 'You didn't build this'
The man is a loon. Why can't people see that??
I still need to see concrete proof of an actual death panel. Maybe I just want to think no one would stoop that low but then I remember who we are talking about.
It is a provision of obamacare that doctors must provide end of life counseling to their patients. It's one of the few things that they are paid to do. I'm old enough to get such words of wisdom every time I go. I don't even see a doctor anymore. My doctor opted out long ago. The County has provided a physician's assistant instead. Now some PAs are good, almost doctors themselves and some are abysmal. Mine is abysmal. Fortunately when I do go, I have already made the diagnosis and determined what treatment I need. The dolt in a lab coat just signs the prescriptions.
dr's do end of life counseling all the time. It is part of the process. But I still can'r get ready for death panels Not yet anyway.
I'm the same as you. I do my research before I go in to save both of us time and stress. My dr (s) are still in attendance but one thing has changed in the last few months. The computer in the exam room. Suddenly my dr spends our sessions looking at a computer screen instead of me
Not a good trend if you ask me.
It is not a good trend and it is a bit more than doctors who provide end of life counseling when they deem it necessary. Under obamacare they MUST provide end of life counseling (whether or not someone is facing the end of their lives), and they get extra special brownie points not to mention MONEY for doing so. It is a provision of obamacare. The goal is to encourage people to accept euthanasia, assisted suicide, or an absence of medical care leading to death rather than expend finances to save their lives.
There is no way to know where legalization of euthanasia or assisted suicide will lead. Anyone who knows anything about human nature, at all, will see this growing into the same kind of legalized murder that abortion grew into.
