More fear mongering by the conservative rightwing nut jobs.

Here's the scoop on the VOLUNTARY program for counseling about end of life decisions. The program reimburses doctors once every five years for a patient's voluntary counseling session about end of life decisions.

The controversy stems from a proposal to pay physicians who counsel elderly or terminally ill patients about what medical interventions they would prefer near the end of life and how to prepare instructions such as living wills. Under the plan, Medicare would reimburse doctors for one session every five years to confer with a patient about his or her wishes and how to ensure those preferences are followed. The counseling sessions would be voluntary.

But on right-leaning radio programs, religious e-mail lists and Internet blogs, the proposal has been described as "guiding you in how to die," "an ORDER from the Government to end your life," promoting "death care," and, in the words of anti-abortion leader Randall Terry, an attempt to "kill granny."
