Universal Health SCare: A Path To Euthanizing the Elderly

Here's something that should raise a red flag to all Americans, but especially seniors.. Section 1233 of H.R. 3200, titled "Advanced Care Planning Consultation," requires senior citizens to meet at least once every 5 years with a doctor or nurse practitioner to discuss dying with dignity.

The section requires that they talk to their doctor, not a lawyer, about living wills, durable healthcare powers of attorney, hospice, etc. Given the progressive intelligentsia already being on the record in favor of euthanizing the elderly, it is no small leap to see where the Democrats are headed with this.

Those 5 year counseling sessions that the elderly are supposed to attend can occur more frequently when a person has a chronic or terminal disease.

Page 428:

17 "(B) An advance care planning consultation with respect to an individual may be conducted more frequently than provided under paragraph (1) if there is a significant change in the health condition of the individual, including diagnosis of a chronic, progressive, life-limiting disease, a life-threatening or terminal diagnosis or life-threatening injury.
