Pages 425 - 430 speak of "Advance Care Planning Consultation" Here is an excerpt of what it contains: In the bill it is read another way, "Advance Care Planning Consultation." The term basically means that when you are classified as elderly, you will be required to consult with a/your practitioner. Within the consultation, the practitioner must explain "key questions and considerations, important steps, and suggested people to talk to." Also, "an explanation by the practitioner of advance directives, including living wills and durable powers of attorney, and their uses." All of that is great when it comes to knowing and understanding important issues. However, when you do become classed as elderly, it is very important to know and understand that your care will be VERY limited and controlled by the State. The question of whether you live or die then becomes debated by a group of practitioners appointed by the State. You no longer have the choice to fight for your life or not, thus we have elderly genocide,aka euthanasia. Even if you are allowed to fight, if deemed so by the practitioners, everything is run through a review by other health professionals who will then sign off, along with a FULL explanation of their decision. It isn't until then that the level of treatment comes into play, which is also highly rationed. "The use of antibiotics, and the use of artificially administered nutrition and hydration," is just a taste as to what you could or couldn't expect. After all, with this euthanasia you don't have the choice of life. We have a duty to protect the vulnerable! Thank you for your consideration of this very important issue!

We're working on our letter here. One of our local reps (D) surprised us by voting against the energy bill. If ever there was a time to speak up and speak LOUDLY, it is now. Very nice Jody.
