В продолжение к вчерашнему посту об эвтаназии.

В США, сейчас, тоже эту тему “раскручивают”. К примеру, в связи с реформами в здравоохранении США, которые затеял Обама.

In fact, what the House bill does is require Medicare to cover appointments for elderly people who want to talk about end-of-life care with their doctor. If you have terminal, untreatable cancer and your heart stops, do you want chest compressions, which will likely break your ribs and cause excruciating pain? If you have a massive stroke and fall into a coma, do you want to be fed through a tube? As things now stand, the elderly have to pay for such consultations out-of-pocket unless they are covered by some Medicare Advantage plans. The House provision does not “compel seniors to submit to a counseling session every five years,” as former New York lieutenant governor Betsy McCaughey wrote in the New York Post. But the idea of requiring Medicare to pay for the counseling (saving Grandma money!) morphed into Palin’s Facebook post that people “will have to stand in front of Obama’s ‘death panel’ so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgement of their ‘level of productivity in society’ whether they are worthy of health care.”

Статья большая, но интересная. На английском.

А, здесь, — еще одна статья о здравоохранении и о “рыночных” идеях реформирования. На этот раз из The Wall Street Journal.
