Then quit ****ing and moaning about the owners being wealthy (in the

ROFLMAO!! why? do you think that having had the big boys raid my 401k
to maintain their lifestyles makes me rich? you right wingers have
quite an imagination.
Oh, and quit calling names and hurling personal insults. They don't

?? now let's see...the right invents lies such as obama putting people
in concentration camps, forming death panels, etc.
THEN when they get called on it, they moan they're being treated
unfairly...
You are correct! The lies about the death panel crap that is coming from
the right is dishonest, and they know it, that is IF they read that part.
From page 429:

‘‘(B) An advance care planning consultation with re2
spect to an individual may be conducted more frequently
3 than provided under paragraph (1) if there is a significant
4 change in the health condition of the individual, including

All decisions, even those made by liberals, are the result of binary thinking.
i was a hospice volunteer for years. the level of instruction people
get at the end of their lives is pathetic and only the right
wing...which hates the human race...would oppose providing these
people with support
Not to be too obvious, but if you were the volunteer, what the hell
kind of pathetic advice were you giving them?

Besides, once an individual is in a hospice haven't the difficult
decisions been already made? They were in my mother's case.
