re: #176 SixDegrees

I have several doctors in my family, and they engage in “end of life counseling” every day! And most people realize that it’s futile to over treat when their loved one is terminal and they make the right decision.

Not every doctor is, as the bill implies, soaking the elderly for their Medicare dollars. Why should the government be involved at all in this decision, whether just incentivizing it or ordering it? Does Obama really believe that some bureaucrat can do a better job at this than a doctor or hospital ethics committee?
