SENATE BILL: Atlasian Senior Care Act (Law'd)

[DemPGH]

Okay, I get that we're cutting end-of-life backing. Why? Moreover, what other options are available? I should read the original bill as well since I don't have context. Hang on.

I had an aged relative who passed about 5 or 6 years ago. He declined mentally in his 90s to the point that it was not possible for visiting nurses to even provide care let alone the family. There was extreme confusion, then sleep, then non-directed rage, and incoherent, random talk that would go on and on.

Nothing overly personal there in telling that since it happens, but I just wonder what other options we have for the elderly.

[DemPGH]

While I can't see myself voting for something that I believed would throw our elderly under the bus, I do not believe that this does that. I think we're aiming for some healthy cost-saving, and while there might be better ways to do it, I can support the amendment.

Affirmative.

Okay, it appears that everyone wants a final vote. Yankee will update the thread title when he logs on. I'll call for a final vote: yes, no, or neither (abstain). Go.
