Oregon Offers to Pay to Kill, but Not to Treat Cancer Patient
“SALEM, Oregon, June 4, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Lung cancer patient, Barbara Wagner, was recently notified that her oncologist-prescribed medication that would slow the growth of cancer would not be covered by the Oregon Health Plan; the plan, however, she was informed, would cover doctor-assisted suicide should she wish to kill herself.”
“‘Treatment of advanced cancer that is meant to prolong life, or change the course of this disease, is not a covered benefit of the Oregon Health Plan,’ read the letter notifying Wagner of the health plan’s decision.” http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/jun/08060402.html
