 On Page 425 Of The U.S. Health Care Bill - Its Interesting and True
On Page 425 of the health care bill, the Federal Government will require EVERYONE who is on Social Security to undergo a counseling session every 5 years with the objective being that they will explain to them just how to end their own life earlier. Yes... And no, I am NOT KIDDING YOU!
Text of the actual bill, which, as far as I can tell after wading through several pages of legalese, merely amends Title 18 of the Social Security Act to stipulate that Medicare will pay for — not mandate — "advance care planning consultations" between individuals and physicians every five years, during which the entire spectrum of end-of-life options can be explained and discussed so said individuals can knowledgeably choose how they want to die when the goverment will not allow them any more treatment.
Let me add this - This may have changed - The bill is being changed as we type. That is why it stalled as of now. I just found this scary when I read this in class.
