An advisor will be paid by the government to visit you
and convince you to save the government money and just die
sooner rather than later

There comes a time for certain patients when they KNOW they are going to die, when the doctors KNOW they are going to die, when it's just a matter of time. End of life counseling at that point should be given, for the patient and the family.

Can't we make our own decisions without Sarah Palin sticking her nose in our hospital rooms. Now, THAT is creepy!

What a foolish attempt to twist the meaning of this thread. Palin wants government out of the decision. She wants only you and your family involved.

The government involvement consists of paying for the counseling, it has no part in the counseling itself, NONE.

Naive, naive, naive. Take one minute and ask yourself WHY the government wants a role in this. For no reason whatsoever? Are they just being altruistic? No, it's in the healthcare bill for a reason, and that reason is to help the government save money by trying to coax people into dying instead of needed expensive care. This is really soooo simple to understand ...

Also, this "death panel" has been a part of Medicare for EVER, in fact, it was a Republican amendment to Medicare.

scare tactics

Scare tactics? Wait until it is you or your spouse that the death panel wants to interview next ...
