I agree with Eugene – there is far too much misinformation being spread.
I’ve gotten a few emails about this type of crap. And when I went to the page #’s in the bill sited in the email, it was totally WRONG, MISLEADING, and LIES.
The end of life stuff in the health care bill is about paying your doctor for their time (compensation for services) when you are terminal or nearing end of life, to say whether you want extreme measures taken or not. Having watched 3 family members die of cancer in the past few years (with three different sets of wishes) – the doctors have to get it on record whether you want/desire them to to “do everything possible” or “die with dignity”. My dad was all about no extreme measures… my brother wanted absolutely every measure to revive him.
