In this case it IS government health care (Medicare)

ever hear of blue cross? aetna? kaiser? they're not medicare


The 60 minutes story and the end of life problem in general, is a
Medicare problem.

It's a moral problem. Forcing the feeble and soon to be dead to stay
temporarily, painfully alive is torture - euthanasia is applied to criminals
and pets - torturing old people to run up the bill is the ultimate crime.


and yet the christian right insists that this be done...look at terry
schiavo...go to 'find a grave'..see how many sick xtian *******s weep
over her while not giving a damn about children who die because of
malnutrition, lack of access to healthcare, etc.

euthanasia is a logical option IMHO...but the xtian right would never
go for it
