[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I usually don't like Chaffetz, but totally agree with him here. I've seen how palliative care doctors can pressure even the most schooled and confident patients and families. [b] How many of the poor and most vulnerable will feel pressure to 'move along' and not be a burden to their families and others? [/quote][/b] Actually, this works in the reverse. Those with money can just remove themselves to a more open environment wherein they can die with dignity. The poor are left behind to suffer needlessly in a prolonged, terminal illness of agony. If they are poor it's not a financial burden on the family, so that's not a worry. It would however be an emotional and spiritual burden on both the family and the ill. But I'm sure you know all this PP because you've personally endured this with loved ones.[/quote]
