Hospice providers are knowledge, experience and skilled in the dying process. In addition, they encourage and help family members complete important legal documents such as a living will and power of attorney. More people should know about end of life care services and options. Far too may people wait until it's too late. Compromises in language could have been made. Outright opposition to the provision is unwise, unkind and ill-informed.

You obviously have an agenda to kill any reform to a health care system that is very lucrative to some but devastating to many. Maybe you simply see this as an opportunity for President Obama's "Waterloo". Whatever your motivation, to extract a very sensible provision in a proposed bill and to distort it into a nefarious intent to kill old people is cruel to people who are predisposed to believe you and plays upon their fears. My hope is that your lies and distortions are exposed for what they are. You people are unconscionable.
