this woman that I work with was going off on “death panels” last month - I was in shock, before this I had a pretty high opinion of her and I didn’t know what to say. I read the section concerning alleged “death panels” and forgot it immediately, it seemed like standard medical practice with new benefits for doctors, written in precise legalese so as to leave no room for interpretation (as everything should, that’s why the bill was 200+ pages!!) - big deal, case closed. I guess not. so I mentioned the whole end of life counseling thing and she made some ignorant, hysterical remark that just left me speechless. I was so mad.
