My mother is on Medicare. This new health bill in the House is scary for seniors. Bottom line, is the government (in their search for change and other things) going to eventually have a pill or shot to give an elderly person to end their life? Can you imagine how much health care spending can be saved if the government gets rid of the elderly health care costs? The purpose of the Health Care Bill is " ....To provide affordable quality health care for and reduce growth in health care spending and for other purposes...." What better way is there to reduce growth in health care?? The National Advance Planning & Compassionate Care Act of 2009 introduced by Senators Rockefeller, Collins, Kohl, Wyden & Carper in Section 251. National Center on Palliative and End-of-Life Care gives funding "for 1) developing and continuously updating a research agenda with the goals of a) better biomedical understanding of the end of life; and b) improvement in the quality of care and life at the end of life; and 2) funding peer-review-selected extra- and intra-mural reseaarch that includes evaluation of existing, and the development of new, palliative and end-of-life care interventions and approaches." Is the development of "new" a new way to end lives?
After that, then will the government look at abortions as saving health care costs by aborting any baby where the fetus shows signs of something wrong?
What do you think?
