Is FOX Snooze now promoting death planning....
http://www.foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/2011/01/14/baby-boomer-death-right-die-death-panel-robery-quinlan-baby-boomer-retire/?intcmp=prn_baynote-js_Two_Documents_Every_Baby_Boomer_Needs_to_Have_for_Death_Planning_

But not all of us will make it, and the way we die has become a media flashpoint. As part of the Patient Protection and Affordability Care Act – better known as the Obama health-care plan – doctors were originally going to be reimbursed by Medicare for what’s known as end-of-life counseling. That was controversial, as it stoked fears of “death panels” deciding who can live and who can die.<snip>

“End of life counseling is about whether a person will have a good death or a bad death,” says Robert Quinlan, an insurance broker and founder of QuinlanCare in New York.

Is there such a thing as a good death? Sure. Think of palliative care, with relief from pain and anxiety and depression. Others just want to pull the plug, saving themselves and their families from pain, suffering and medical bills.<snip>

Crazy there against something now they're for it buty the funding was pulled. They were afraid of being remind of this yearly...WTF.

1. "it stoked fears of “death panels” deciding who can live and who can die."
Fox, of course had nothing to do with that blatant lie. :eyes:
