>> I don't see the need for it and I wasn't arguing a need for it, in case that wasn't clear. That wasn't clear. I'm not one of the breathless you mentioned, but I do get really sick of Congress creating problems where none exists and interfering where they have no business. It is my view they really have no business getting involved in this particular subject. And frankly, this kind of stuff is one reason their chance at "health care reform" is dying before our eyes. Instead of fixing the problems, they decided to go for sweeping legislation that puts government in charge of every aspect of our lives.

finances were explained,, that's what how the subject came up. one example of a person dying of cancer, all treatments discontinued , living room being used as bedroom, and patient refuses hospice. Still not accepting they are doing to die. Of course even if you sign the forms for hospice they will tell you its non binding. you can change your mind at anytime. also hospice now has hospital stays to get your medication regulated when they cannot perform procedure in the home. un of penn has a new facility where the relative can sleep in the room with the patient, the central room is like a living room with fireplace, and kitchen built in. pennhealth.com people are unwilling to accept they are dying. my wife had doctors give up on her many times, throughout decades. The will to live can amaze you. of course, care makes a major difference.
