<<<I'm a realist and support it but at the same time harbor fear of it's over use once in Government control - sort of like Ritalin for everyone.>>> We can agree that End-of-Life Counseling is logical and is a good thing to get. We differ on how to make it available to large numbers of people. Our differences on this subject is just a subset of universal access to health care. All I can do is rehash the arguement for universal access to health. People are much better off in Europe where Governments provide universal access to health care. In countries where Governments do not provide access to health care (eg all of Africa, India, etc) people face enormous suffering. Let's leave the US out of this argument. Give one example of country on this planet where people are better off without a government that provides access to health care.
