Two Republican leaders in the House of Representatives are confirming reports that the health care restructuring bill the House is currently considering promotes euthanasia. A leading patients rights advocate is worried about the effects of the legislation.Watch.
Betsy McCaughey, the former New York lieutenant government who is now a patient's rights advocate, notes that the government-run health care plan would require "end of life" counseling for seniors.
In a statement sent to LifeNews.com House Republican Leader John Boehner Republican Policy Committee Chairman Thaddeus McCotter confirm those fears.
"Section 1233 of the House-drafted legislation encourages health care providers to provide their Medicare patients with counseling on ‘the use of artificially administered nutrition and hydration’ and other end of life treatments,'" the pair say.
So how long before we're being offered cash for grandpa? How much will we get? And who will replace them?
UPDATE: Eunice Kennedy Shriver is in critical condition and reportedly close to death. She has suffered numerous strokes over the past few years. How many life-ending counseling sessions do you think she has had to sit through? Anyone? Bueller?
