I go to my Doc now for an office visit
why are you here bill worried about end of life shit well, you can tough it out, write a living will, blow yer brains out who cares thanx doc my insurance covers that visit now under an office visit so why is the gummint FINANCING stuff that any doc will do as part of regular services NOW! With financing the KTOF groups can apply for grants and run around throwing old fucks into vans and haul them off for mental reconditioning on the government dime. It was a ploy to fund and activate government sponsored hemlock societies nothing more. |

hemlock societies
You're easily amazed, aincha? Suck on this, then:
However, on April 16th 2008, then Gov. Sarah Palin endorsed some of the same end of life counseling she now decries as a form of euthanasia. In a proclamation announcing ÂHealthcare Decisions Day, Palin urged public facilities to provide better information about advance directives, and made it clear that it is critical for seniors to be informed of such options:http://thinkprogress...thpanel-flipflop/WHEREAS, Healthcare Decisions Day is designed to raise public awareness of the need to plan ahead for healthcare decisions, related to end of life care and medical decision-making whenever patients are unable to speak for themselves and to encourage the specific use of advance directives to communicate these important healthcare decisions. [...]Though this proclamation is now deleted from the Alaska governorÂs website, it shows that PalinÂs current fear-mongering is purely political. Palin is not the only conservative leader completely flip-flopping on this issue. Merely months ago, Gingrich too endorsed end of life counseling. At a conference in April of this year, Gingrich said advance directives can Âsave money while also helping to Âdecrease the stress felt by caregivers. cordially, |

I notice she didnt provide any money for such items
nothing against end of life info. Me I get the big C its speedballs until I quit breathing, or a pillow over the face if I cant suck air on my own. Thats an informed choice. Government providing the needles and the pillow isnt.

Because they don't do it now
"so why is the gummint FINANCING stuff that any doc will do as part of regular services NOW!"
I call bullshit. My GF is a nurse, in a long term nursing care facility. Most of the doctors she works with NEVER speak about such things, they avoid it like the the plague. And attempt to control other people's conversations. She's seen a lot of people die, poorly, painfully, in agony, because the Dr delayed these types of discussions. This is daily issue. One that hits home. Find something you actually know about to whine about please. |

So because the feds have a dollar attached to it
all of those same docs are going to open up and start talking about it?
|
|
Nope
But there is now an incentive for the parent corporation to setup a few specialists that can come in when requested. Which the nurses will do. It gets the staff Dr. off the hook, lets them deal with the day to day, while giving those people a chance of dying without being in agony.
Of course, you don't care about them, you are so sure it is merely a way for the feds to councel suicide. Asshole. |
