| dikkie Offer Upgrade  User ID: 1328988  Netherlands01/22/2013 08:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | JAPAN'S finance minister Taro Aso said the elderly should be allowed to "hurry up and die" instead of costing the government money for end-of-life medical care. Aso, who also doubles as deputy prime minister, reportedly said during a meeting of the National Council on Social Security Reforms: "Heaven forbid if you are forced to live on when you want to die. You cannot sleep well when you think it's all paid by the government. "This won't be solved unless you let them hurry up and die," he said. [link to www.theaustralian.com.au]  |

[link to www.wwltv.com] NEW ORLEANS -- Starting Feb. 1 Louisiana will stop offering hospice care services to most patients on medicaid. The Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals is eliminating the service to families in the state due to state budget cuts. Critics are up in arms. "When you have a loved one that its ill and they're going to die and you know it and they know it and they want to be home, you want to satisfy exactly what they want," said Docia Kenney. Kenney knows hospice care well. Wednesday marked the one-month anniversary of her brother David's passing. The 53-year-old lost his battle with pancreatic cancer and received hospice care until the very end |

These seem to be the people screaming for the old people to die, you'd think it would be the communists doing it but in our modern world it's not. Look at all the people who identify themselves in the US as Conservatives calling for the old people to die here. |

The problem is.. who should make that decision..? I certainly don't think politicians should be involved.. nor a medical board. Last Edited by Waterbug on 01/22/2013 04:12 PM |

If it financially benefits an insurer and the heathcare 'industry' to keep a poor soul who is suffering in body and mind alive, even when the humane thing would be to allow them to die with dignity, they will. |
