Healthcare reform
QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 04:42 PM) ??? I don't follow this train of thought unless doctors had the power to fix everything and/or provide immortality. What exactly are you getting at? If I'm close to dying or have a terminal illness where the outcome isn't certain, and I tell the doctor I want him/her to do everything possible, then that's what should/will happen. If I'm dying and I talked to my family about it and I told the doctor that I don't want to go to the struggle and let nature take its course on me, that's what should/will happen (I'm guessing this is the source of the manufactured outrage, because I'm choosing to let myself die whereas conservatives seem to want to make this decision for me, for some reason). In any case, when I ask, the doctor tells me the list of options. It's my choice, not the government's, and the language in the bill I saw didn't say otherwise. It doesn't seem much more complicated than that to me. The phrase "death panel" is pure, naked, unmitigated hyperbole, and portraying it as anything other than that smells like a copout. My point was that if there ever was a point that the government made the judgement that you were not going to get treatment anymore, they have just acted as a "death panel". That's where that stupid idea came out of.

Healthcare reform
Here's what I don't understand... Is this new plan going to always include all life saving procedures, always, if the patient didn't say they didn't want them? If there are situations where they aren't, someone is becoming a defacto "death panel".
