End-of-Life Advisory Incentives Return to ObamaCare

Posted: 29 Dec 2010 08:07 AM PST

The return, after Congress specifically removed it following the uproar over the 'death panels', comes through regulation. Politically it is important for the Republicans to take notice. Passive legislative resistance to portions of Obama's agenda that they oppose is insufficient. They will need to proactively block those provisions.

"Better get used to this process, because it's how President Obama will be pushing his agenda on all fronts. The New York Times reports today that the White House will create incentives for doctors to discuss "options" for end of life care through regulation, after Congress removed the incentives from ObamaCare
...
There is, however, something at least vaguely disturbing about a government incentivizing doctors to do so as part of an expansive regulatory program that has, as one of its primary goals, cost reduction. The process used by Obama and Kathleen Sebelius to get this into ObamaCare is more disturbing, and in a very specific way. Congress made it clear that it didn't want this incentive as part of the new law. However, thanks to the miles and miles of ambiguity in the final version of ObamaCare, with its repetitive the Secretary shall determine language, Congress has more or less passed a blank check for regulatory growth to Obama and Sebelius."
