I recently had to journey to the office of my doctor for onbe of my month consultations and after the pain of the examination he and I were talking about health care…..he knew that I was a political theorist and analyst and we had an interesting talk……we covered a lot of the same stuff that one normally hears daily on the tube….but then he mentioned illegal aliens getting free heath care…he mentioned the possibility of end of life decisions made by government ……I finally had to stop him and ask just where he was getting his info…..he left the room and in awhile returned with a copy of an email that was making its way around the health care offices……I had to leave but told him I would read it and we could talk later.

I got to my house and after a day or so I got to reading the four page email that my doctor had given me.  After reading about half of the arguments the email presented I ythought some points sounded familiar, so I did some surfing and fond I was correct.

The mail present one point,:

Sec 1233 Pg 429 lines 10-12 states:  “advanced acre consultation” may include an ORDER for end of life plans–AN ORDER FROM GOVT.

I thought that particular one sounded familiar and I found that an email from Liberty Counsel, a subsidiary of Liberty University, A Falwell creation and in that mail I found….you guessed it…

Sec. 1233 Pg 429 Lines 10-12:  “advanced care consultation” may include an ORDER for end of life plans–AN ORDER FROM GOVT.

That is not exactly what the section or the lines say….remember they are saying lines 10-12:

line 10–professional ( as specified by the Secretary and who

line 11:–is acting in the scope of the professional’s au-

line 12–thority under state law in signing such a order, in-

There you go the exact wording of the lines quoted in several right wing emails….but do not take my word for it….go to http://www.house.gov and look up HR 3200 and scroll down to section 1233 on page 429 lines 10-12 and read them for yourself….as I have said DO NOT take my word for it…….or anyone’s word for it…check their sources and FIND the truth for yourself.

Yep, it was word for word on both of the papers I had….but the scary part, at least for me, is that a rational medical person would believe and pass on the lies that are being used by the Right in their fight against health reform.
