Weighing Medical Costs of End-of-Life Care

To paraphrase Mark Twain, There are lies, damned lies and anything the government says.

Just like with global warming fraud, if you only count the numbers you like, and throw out the number you don't like, you can prove anything you want.

I took a poll of politicians recently asking when did you start lying:
5% said ever since they were born.
25% said they had to, to get elected.
65% said they had to, to stay in office.
5% said as the son of god, they were incapable of lying. No matter what they said, no matter how contradictory it sounded, it was the truth when they said it.

Keeping that in mind, it is easy to see how a government agency that wants to save money by not giving medical care to older sick people managed to come up with a survey that would prove their position.

Aren't you glad your government is looking to save money however it can.

Except for funding for pet projects, and except for allowing fraud and abuse, and except for bribing politicians to vote for bills that no one in their right mind should vote for, and except for any time a politician wants to hire a hooker, and except for doing anything to improve the lot of the citizens of this country.
