He wraps all this around talk of Dr./Patient mumbo jumbo but he is clearly stating that the government is going to be involved.
and that bill clearly indicates such. period.

He did not clearly say that. If he had clearly said it, we would see him saying it on the video.
In context, he said that if the surgery is not going to work, then they would present that option to the patient. That is what he said. You can read into that all you want, but it does not change what he said. If you watched the unedited video below the edited one, he said at least two times that the decision would be between the physician and patient. He even said he did not want the government to be involved in the medical decision.
Really, he could not have said any more clearly that it would be the patient's decision. You have really got to hate the man to read anything into "I don't want bureaucracies making those decisions".
