Medical Care And The Ability To Say NO

Here is a wonderful article from the New York Times on what they believe is the 3 step process to getting everyone to accept no for an anwer.  I love the part about making the tough decision to choose hospice care.  Is is just me or does that sound like death panels?
Got prostate cancer (which is normally a slow moving cancer) - tough, need a stent or bypass surgery - tough, need a CT scan to check for cancer - too bad.  They have studies that show these things are over used and the success of these procedures is probably not great enough for you to get them done.
Thank the Lord the federal government is here to take care of me!
