Ray asked me to post this to the list for her: by now most of you must know that the latest criticism against HR 3200 is that it would result in the government "killing old people", reference Rep. Virginia Fox, Republican - North Carolina, statement before the House of Representatives 7-28-2009. it is my understanding that this charge stems from a section in the bill that deals with living wills. I think it is Subtitle B, Section III, but I cannot take notes anymore. maybe a Care Giver who has the use of his/her hands could find it or the clause that calls for killing old people. http://docs.house.gov/edlabor/AAHCA-BillText-071409.pdf thanks, Ray Rayilyn Brown Director AZNPF Arizona Chapter National Parkinson Foundation [log in to unmask] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
