And if you're thinking about dying in the hospital, read this from Canada:

Canadian Researcher Wants Dying Sent Home to Free Up Hospitals
May 21st, 2009 | Author: John
From UPI, May 20, 2009:

As a way to help free up hospital beds, a Canadian researcher suggests people should be encouraged to die at home rather than in a hospital.

University of Alberta researcher Donna Wilson says that there’s been a dramatic change in the location of death of Canadians. Up until 1994, about 80 percent died in a hospital, but that number has dropped to 61 percent.

Wilson says she would like to see the number drop further to 40 percent as baby boomers age because this could reduce wait lists and free up hospital beds for those who need life-saving treatment or surgery.

It’s also a much more dignified death for a family member, Wilson says.

Wilson calculated that in the next 20 years the number of people dying could double and if death rates in hospital stay at 80 percent it means a potential tie-up of every single bed in Canada for three days of the year — because each person takes up a bed for an average of 10 days.

No matter where they die, Canadians (who have a public healthcare and thus easier and less restrictive access to both healthcare and medications) live longer.

It is clear not a single one is any where near the topic of "death Panels"
You get reminded but you just don't get it.
I realize there is an Obama triggered dementia. Severly afflicted patients start all kinds of deflected topics to distract from the issues.

Obama is praying for a huricane to attack so this fiasco won't get coverage.

Read up on Dr emanuel and then come back with some info to support some assertions if you can stay on topic.

Big word alert?

OK. What is you medical education? What is your definiton of sick?
Disease?
Illness?

Should the DSM IV TR put Obama attachment disorders under Dementias or mood disorders?

There is no doubt Democrats could be delivered from Obama Reactive Attachment Disorder

Obama triggered dementia indeed. You think this silly plan effects me or my family in any way, shape, or form? Yet you act like you are qualified to talk about or compare care under health insurance / the US system with anywhere else in the world. HA. All you can talk about is the "Cleveland Clinic" in a state that ranks 36/50 in a country that ranks 1st in healthcare spending and 26th in how long the patients live. You don't like public healthcare? You need to show that the patients actually do worse, anywhere, in any place or country or state with public healthcare than they currently do JUST in your favorite state of Ohio where the wonderful and esteemed "Cleveland Clinic" is located. Otherwise I believe I will say what I wish on this thread. You can always ignore it.
