On former Sen. Fred Thompson’s radio show, former lieutenant governor of

contained a provision that would institute mandatory counseling sessions
telling seniors how "to do what’s in society’s best interest … and cut
your life short." House Minority Leader John Boehner made a slightly
more measured statement, warning that the same provision "may start us
down a treacherous path toward government-encouraged euthanasia if

Geez, you would think the Republicans would get on the same page. The
"Death Panel" was an amendment put in by a pro-life Republican, from your
state by the way. And, it makes sense.

From your source:

"...A spokesperson for Palin told ABC News that the former governor
was referring to a section promoting advance care planning that
appears on page 425 of the House Democrats' bill [pdf]. Advance care
planning includes living wills and durable powers of attorney that
allow individuals to make clear their wishes for end-of-life care,
whatever they may be.

And as it turns out, the cause of advance planning has been championed
especially strongly by a pro-life Republican -- U.S. Sen. Johnny
Isakson of Georgia."

No where does it say Isakson authored the paragraphs in the bill. You
guys will pull anything out of your hats. Go read the bill, starting
on page 429.

All decisions, even those made by liberals, are the result of binary thinking.

It doesn't matter where it came from it is making a lot of hay for the
anti-Obamacare side of the issue. The biggest problem is that a Dr can
initiate the conversation and get paid for it without the patient
knowing what is going on. I thought Obama was against Dr's padding their
pay?
