Let's see... discussing 'advanced care' (in other words, what medical conditions/factors to expect for your age... isn't that what a good Doctor is expected to do anyway with his patients?); references to Medicare services provided for by the 'Older Americans Act of 1965' (whatever the heck is in that bill... haven't a clue); and, a lawyer saying that he 'couldn’t figure out what this section of the bill would actually require...' and 'this bill is simply incomprehensible'. Let's see... an unfinished bill, nowhere near it's final form (yet to even be reconciled with whatever comes out of the Senate, nor revised again in both Houses prior to a final vote up or down), and it's got some vague or unclear language in it still? I'm SHOCKED! Shocked to find out that there could possibly be vagueness or uncertainty on 'page 425' of a rushed and as yet completely unfinished bill! But, even if it's somewhere close to being true (all the hyper-ventilating of Betsy McCoy - whomever the heck she may be - on the 'Fred Thompson radio show' aside...), is it really all that 'crazy' to expect a doctor when dealing with aged patients to actually discuss medical issues of the aged with their geriatric patients? What should their physicians discuss with them, care for new-borns? <GGG>) Crazy....
