Here's another interesting piece of Obamaca

".... we should be very troubled by Section 1233 of H.R. 3200. The

practitioner to discuss dying with dignity."

Screw you Obama.
Help me out here, Sec 1233 of H.R. 3200 concerns Bulk Transfers.

There is, however, proposed amendments to the Social Security Act
that discuss living wills, powers of attorneys, and such. We haven't

It stops just short of euthanasia.

And frankly, I don't want to be preached at by some "health care
worker" about the value of "just letting go".

I get enough of that crap every time I go to a specialist - Do you
feel safe - has anybody threatened you - blah, blah, blah.
Gee, I'm older than you are and none of the medical folks I ever see ask
those sorts of questions. Do you look frail?
In many states it is the hospital and/or doctor's responsibility to ask
that question, and it is one of the first questions nurses asks of all
new patients.

Harry is "special". He's exempt from both Federal and State laws
regarding these issues.

I took my mother in law to the hospital because she had cut her leg on
the car door. Because it was such a deep and long cut, they must have
asked her that question at least 5 times.

I took my wife (age 48) into the emergency room for pneumonia last year,
and it was one of the first questions they asked. The only thing that
surprised me, was they asked the question in front of me. If I was
really abusing her, they should be asking it discreetly without anyone
else around.
