Since my original post, I’ve been doing some reading. And I retract what I said; the government is implementing a “final solution” of sorts.

• Page 425: More bureaucracy: Advance Care Planning Consult: Senior Citizens, assisted suicide, euthanasia?  
• Page 425: Government will instruct and consult regarding living wills, durable powers of attorney, etc. Mandatory. Appears to lock in estate taxes ahead of time.  
• Page 425: Goverment provides approved list of end-of-life resources, guiding you in death.  
• Page 427: Government mandates program that orders end-of-life treatment; government dictates how your life ends.  
• Page 429: Advance Care Planning Consult will be used to dictate treatment as patient’s health deteriorates. This can include an ORDER for end-of-life plans. An ORDER from the GOVERNMENT.  
• Page 430: Government will decide what level of treatments you may have at end-of-life.

People, if for no other reason than these pages alone, we should all rise up in arms and demand of our elected officials that this bill be killed, a stake be driven through its heart and garlic shoved in its mouth, so that it will never return.
