    and you're a moron....saying he wants it to be budget neutral is NOT the same as it WILL be budget neutral....so it is not false for the republicans to claim it won't be...

    The only Death Panels in America are the monsters employed by fat-cat health insurance companies. They routinely deny care and refuse coverage to people in need.

    To claim that reform will result in a government conspiracy to impose euthanasia on the terminally ill is an absurd canard.

    Advance care planning, the proposal that shrill compassionless conservatards allege is a code-word for killing Grandma, is not even mandatory in the House health care bill currently in committee.

    Section 1233 of the America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009 amends the Social Security Act to ensure that advance care planning will be covered if a patient requests it from a qualified care provider [America's Affordable Health Choices Act, Sec. 1233].

    According to the bill produced by three relevant House committees, the section provides coverage for consultation between enrollees and practitioners to discuss orders for life-sustaining treatment and instructs CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid) to modify the 'Medicare & You' informational handbook to incorporate information on end-of-life planning resources and to incorporate measures on advance care planning into the physician's quality reporting initiative.

    Sadly, the rightwingnuts know this and still continue to lie to protect the profits of their masters.
