Will the new health plan covers assisted suicide but not cancer treatment?
READ the ARTICLE before you comment please! AND if you can show what is written in the new health care policy that provides for cancer treatment, please enlighten me! Her doctor offered hope in the new chemotherapy drug Tarceva, but the Oregon Health Plan sent her a letter telling her the cancer treatment was not approved. Instead, the letter said, the plan would pay for comfort care, including "physician aid in dying," better known as assisted suicide. "I told them, I said, 'Who do you guys think you are?' You know, to say that you'll pay for my dying, but you won't pay to help me possibly live longer?' " Wagner said. http://www.kval.com/news/26140519.html

It has been extropolated that the case in Oregon could happen on a national level if we had a single payer system. I surely hope not.

If this plan goes thru , they will eventually decide who lives and who dies. A panel of experts will meet and decide who gets treatment and who does not to save the cost of Govt. run HC which is going to be enormous. This is already happening in Europe.
