And ask yourself about the Comparative Effectiveness Research Council the president established in The Stimulus Bill--bet that one got right by you. Fact is this is the last generation of seniors who will have quality care if HR 3200 or one of its "cousin" bills passes. Medicare is tanking and we are being asked to provide care for a sizable group who come to this country specifically for free care. On end of life counseling, it's already being done. Read what your government writes, not what you want to believe. If you’re a senior who “commends” the Obama bill, you better read the bill.
