Our senior citizens are right to be wary of this health care bill. Medical care at the end of life accounts for 80 percent of all health care. When care is rationed, that is naturally where the cuts will be felt first. The “end-of-life” consultations authorized in Section 1233 of HR 3200 were an obvious and heavy handed attempt at pressuring people to reduce the financial burden on the system by minimizing their own care. Worst still, it actually provided a financial incentive to doctors to initiate these consultations. People are right to point out that such a provision doesn’t sound “purely voluntary.”
Sarah Palin's "higher calling" in quiting the governorship in Alaska was to combat Obama and his socialization of America. And I did read the bill and I'm not hysteric as to become blind. Sec. 1233 did not sound "voluntary" to me either.
