Burying The Death Panels


Bill Maher: The Zombie Life Cycle Of Republican Lies. They Never - Ever - Die

***

It’s time to bury the ‘death panel’ myth for good. Is this the way to do it? "A rational and responsible national conversation about preparing for death and end-of-life care has been virtually impossible over the past five years because of the 'death panel' myth that erupted during the heated health-care debate of 2009....The truth is many people don't have much say in the matter because they don't appropriately plan for it....And that's where health-reform legislation being debated by Congress five years ago could have helped filled the gap. Now in a new 507-page IOM report...recommendations include what the original ACA legislation would have done: pay doctors for speaking with their patients about end-of-life care." Jason Millman in The Washington Post.
