Subject: killing old people


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 Foxx, 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.
