Attn Dems: Stop Saying "End of Life Counselling"
When asked about the "death panels" the proper response is, "that's crazy, made up nonsense. there are no death panels".

Dont try to talk your way out of the question by saying anything with the term "end of life". All the freepers, birthers, deathers..... hear is END OF LIFE. I swear sometimes I think that there are some Democratic Reps who would strike out in teeball.

1. didn't a repub put this in? Take it out. It has nothing to do with the real issue and distracts
perhaps the republican put that in there in order to give the
freepers something to argue against.

It isn't relevent to getting health care for all and should be
in a separate bill.

2. I think you're right, it should be "living will counseling"
and they need to stress that the living will covers heroics you want as well as don't want.

3. Living Will counselling
That's what they should call it because that's what most people know it by.

The sad thing is that they're all too chicken shit to say the only "pull the plug on Grandma" law we have in the country was signed by George Bush.

4. Fuck this generation of seniors on this
We can add it back in 10 or 15 for those that might want to be sensible and appreciate the help.
