More vile, right-wing lying -- this one from the functionally illiterate leader of Redstate.com - Erick Erickson.
The money quote:
"Does the AARP’s members know about the endorsement of a healthcare plan that requires seniors to get instruction every five years on assisted suicide — a fact the AARP calls a “myth”?"
Really? I challenge Erick Erickson or any of my detractors to show me where in the legislation the term "assisted suicide" appears.
MY GAWD!! The willful treachery of these right wingers is utterly astounding. What lying ass-wipe Erick is referring to is a provision in the bill that allows Americans to CHOOSE (link to dictionary definition of the word "choose") to have a consultation about what is known as an "ADVANCED DIRECTIVE" - (link to definition of Advanced Directive).
It is an OPTIONAL benefit (link to definition of the word optional). Nobody is required to utilize this benefit if they choose (there's that word again) not to!
NOT MANDATORY. NOT MANDATORY. NOT MANDATORY.
OPTIONAL. OPTIONAL. OPTIONAL.
IF YOU CHOOSE TO HAVE A CONSULTATION EVERY FIVE YEARS, YOU CAN. IF YOU DO NOT CHOOSE TO DO IT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
Is that clear enough?
