I know that Rep. Conyers (D-MI) and others complain that they don’t have time to read the bills presented for a vote nor do they fully understand them before they do vote (which one might question then why are they even voting on them or why are these people representing us?) but let me pull back the curtain on some of the elements of the ObamaCare bill:

From the House version of the healthcare reform bill:

Pages 424-434: Mandatory “advance care planning consultations” for Medicaid recipients to discuss future end-of-life decisions.
Page 428, lines 17-25: These mandated consultations must take place every 5 years or more frequently if there is a “significant change in the health condition of the individual”
Page 429, lines 1-3: During that consultation, an undesignated (read: maybe not YOUR doctor, nurse, etc.) physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant “may include the formulation of an order regarding life sustaining treatment”
Page 429, line 4-16: “Order regarding life sustaining treatment” is defined as an “actionable medical order” that “is in a form that stays with the individual and [is] followed by health care professionals and providers across the continuum of care.”
Page 430, lines 4-17: The order may indicate treatment ranging from “full treatment to an indication to limit some or all or specified interventions” including “the use of antibiotics” and “the use of artificially administered nutrition and hydration.”

There is no provision for the patient’s required consent to the actions above nor does it define the designation of the healthcare provider making the decision and therefore doesn’t have to be your doctor.

GorT

GorT is an eight-foot-tall robot from the 51ˢᵗ Century who routinely time-travels to steal expensive technology from the future and return it to the past for retroinvention. The profits from this pay all the Gormogons’ bills, including subsidizing this website. Some of the products he has introduced from the future include oven mitts, the Guinness widget, Oxy-Clean, and Dr. Pepper. Due to his immense cybernetic brain, GorT is able to produce a post in 0.023 seconds and research it in even less time. Only ’Puter spends less time on research. GorT speaks entirely in zeros and ones, but occasionally throws in a ڭ to annoy the Volgi. He is a massive proponent of science, technology, and energy development, and enjoys nothing more than taking the Czar’s more interesting scientific theories, going into the past, publishing them as his own, and then returning to take credit for them. He is the only Gormogon who is capable of doing math. Possessed of incredible strength, he understands the awesome responsibility that follows and only uses it to hurt people.
