WaPost finally covers ’wingers euthanasia scare

Only a couple of weeks late to the scene, the Washington Post and Ms. Healthcare Industry Suck-Up Ceci Connolly finally run a story about the right-wing PR machine’s “government-driven euthanasia” scare story on national healthcare.

That said, it is better than some of her work; she explicitly notes that both the AMA and AARP support such a provision.
“These are important discussions everyone should have when they are healthy and not entering a hospital, so they are fully informed and can make their wishes known,” said association President J. James Rohack. “That’s not controversial; it’s plain, old-fashioned patient-centered care.”

In other words, more obfuscation of the type that gets people to believe Medicare is not a government program.
