Ted Cruz’s dad rips RINOs, Obamacare

[Swede Atlanta]

29. This is another blatant lie about the ACA.....

First of all, if you had an end-of-life discussion mandated every 5 years I know very few patients who would
(a) Sit and listen if they are 25 and healthy
(b) Last 5 years if in fact they were in an end-of-life stage

If I recall correctly the ACA ensures that doctors are compensated for having this discussion with patients. In this country we are so afraid of death and the dead. Look at the extraordinary heroics we go to, at extreme expense, to keep someone alive for another few days or weeks. Those days or weeks are spent either in great pain or in a comatose state.

I for one fully support having a factual, non-emotional discussion about my condition, my prognosis, treatment options including withdrawing further treatment and quality of life. I want to be in a position to make that decision but I need information. If my doctor is not compensated for having that discussion then I am denied what most people would agree should be an option for every patient facing end-of-life decisions.

Ted Cruz' father is a crotchety old hateful so-called Christian and his son is a charlatan and a snake oil salesman.
