Health Reform Bill Won't Encourage Euthanasia, Says Democrat Miller

Republicans have suggested that the health care bill circulating in Congress will encourage the elderly to end their lives, says Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.). “It’s just outrageous that they would play that kind of fear on that vulnerable population when they know in fact that there’s nothing in that bill that does that.” Miller explains that a provision in the current version allows a patient to voluntarily discuss a life-threatening illness and end-of-life care with their doctor.
