The provision to which Sen. Grassley refers, written by a Republican Congressman, allows insurance payment for those who desire a doctor's input in writing a living will. The government is not involved in any way, the service is entirely optional, and Senator Grassley surely knows it.

Shame on him for such a vile misrepresentation - trying to scare Americans into thinking someone has proposed a "government program that determines if you're going to pull the plug on grandma."

I am appalled. Though I have often disagreed with him, I thought him more honorable than this.

heard that health care industry has given 2.5 mil to him over the years ... don't know the time period... but it makes me wonder... either that or he's really gone senile! i used to think him an honest and good senator ...

He's been crazed by the overexposure to bribe money.
