In other words, disconnect and die with dignity. In the world with GoFundMe and other crowd sourcing media, along with friend and family support, yes. GoFundMe pays for dogs to get heart transplants at this point. Also, BTW, most, if not all, of experimental treatments are free to the patients. Because they are experimental.

Individuals should be able to obtain the care they can afford, can be helped to afford through non-compulsion, or that others freely chose to provide them with. They should not have government panels telling them that they will not be permitted to receive that care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never saw anything saying a "death panel" would deny you from going out and starting a GoFundMe or whatever and do your own thing. The whole "death panel" nonsense was just political grand standing anyway. Kind of like this whole SC thing is now. And the "kids in cages" a few months back.

I wonder what the experimental cutting edge cancer treatment costs, and how it can be covered under the policy everyone suggests is too expensive to begin with? You're making an emotional argument regarding a financial issue. The contract chosen outlines coverage and benefits in exchange for the premium paid. If you're going emotional, why not have the doctor/hospital/pharmaceutical donate services, the govt forgive all taxes, tolls and fees, Verizon toss in free cell service, and Dunkin donuts send munchkins for breakfast? It sucks when cancer comes to call, but its silly to suggest that there should be no limits to treatments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I provided you with a very recent and specific example of the English and EU court system refusing to allow a patient care which, absent a "government death panel" they would have been able to obtain. It wasn't grand standing at all. It happens. I've provided you evidence that's how those systems actually work. You might not like the language, which was loaded for political impact, but I leave it to you to explain to the board how Charlie Gard was not an example of a "government death panel" in action.

Why doesn't anyone care about "kids in cages" anymore? You have not read enough. In some cases patients are able to collect money in locations where such medical practiced occur but are not allowed/approved. They then fly from Cuba to the US to have it done. Or, they make it illegal to leave the country to seek medical care primarily. Or they flat out refuse like the Britt kid when others want to fund it. The government didn't care about the children!

DR was posting the tweets of this guy as if they were gospel, as if he only lies to law enforcement, but his tweets are totally honest and selfless. Quote WASHINGTON — George Papadopoulos, a former Trump campaign adviser, was sentenced on Friday to 14 days in prison for lying to the F.B.I. about his contacts with Russian intermediaries during the 2016 presidential race, becoming the first Trump adviser to be sentenced in the special counsel investigation. Though most first-time offenders convicted of lying to federal authorities escape with probation, Judge Randolph D. Moss said that Mr. Papadopoulos deserved a stiffer sentence because he had impeded an investigation of “grave national importance.” https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/07/us/politics/george-papadopoulos-sentencing-special-counsel-investigation.html Got it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold the hearing Monday, state the facts as they are known in to the record, invite Feinstein to speak to those facts on the accuser's behalf, allow Kavanaugh to speak. The record will show the accusation, have both sides of the story represented, and go a long way towards silencing any rational future criticism of the process.
