442
HR 1 EH
1 (1) ensures that each patients health information is secure and protected, in accordance with ap-
3 plicable law;Well, it looks like BETSY (PP) has cut & ran.
BETSY, BETSY, BETSY don't you ever get tired of lying???Well BETSY, as I said in the other thread, the part I underlined that gives the context and you, Betsy, ignored that came BEFORE the part you cite:
"advance the delivery of patient-centered medical care"
Only dishonest CON$ would call increasing information to doctors and hospitals to provide, quoting from the bill, "increased consumer choice, and improved outcomes in health care services" a "death panel."
Again it is a health benefits advisory council, as set forth in the very language you quoted, which people are considering "death panels". People feel some government agent is going to say granma can't get chemotherapy becuase she is too old and its way cheaper to hop her up on oxycontin till she dies.
If you are going to willfully overlook the very language you quoted its impossible to have an honest debate with you.
Show me the words health "benefits advisory council" in
"THE VERY LANGUAGE I QUOTED!"
How can anyone have an "honest debate" with someone who makes up crap out of thin air and then claims the crap they just made up came from the bill I cited????????????
