I'm still trying to find a copy of the movie "Americathon" with John Ritter.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078766/

Looks like the movie for these days. Nobody seems to have it though (for a
reasonable price).

Do you know this to be a reputable dealer? I had seen this before and didn't
believe it to be more than a broker who would *try* to get your goods while
it held onto your money.

I have no idea. I've never used them. But I've been known to obtain
such "early releases", such as "Name of the Rose", from a web dealer
in Brazil ;-)

But wasn't released on DVD in the US until many years after I bought a

I had a VHS copy but it was wearing out... I sometime play movies

Read pages 424 onward... with Medicare you will be required to have
every-five-year "counseling" as to whether treatment should continue,
or whether you should go to hospice and die. I kid you not :-(

"What would happen to [Obama's] vanity if he didnt have us to
throw alms to? What would become of his strength if he didnt have
weaker people to dominate? What would he do with himself if he
didnt keep us around as dependents? Its quite alright, really,
Im not criticizing him, its just a law of human nature."

You don't have to explain this to me. I may not post often, but don't you

I made a sarcastic anti-Obama statement recently, and you took it literally.
I asked you to re-read it and you were so ****ed at what you thought was a
pro-O statement you refused to do so.

As I understand the definition of the "web", it is based on html. Before
hypertext was used on the internet, it wasn't called the web. The lines of
connection that on paper look like a web are based on hyperlinks.

Anyway that was a great movie. The concept was similar to National Treasure
in that the contents of the Library of Alexandria were partially preserved
in a secret place, but unlike NT, NotR was plausible and historical (as well
as tragic).

longer before we have the 'Ethical Suicide Parlors' that Kurt Vonegut wrote

Funny, seems to be nothing there except a requirement that your doctor
explain the alternatives.

Where's the downside?

OK, thanks. Then your ice floe description above must refer to some
additional future bill, which doesn't exist yet?

I'm betting medicare already has a similar requirement. Informed consent
is a big part of the standard of care these days.

What a crock. No one needs 'permission' from the government to ask, or
discuss with, their doctor any damn thing they feel like, including
'alternatives'.

And no such thing is in the bill. Fantasize much?



Where's the downside?

For one, that it's none of the government's damn business

Medicare is none of the government's damn business? Funny fantasy world
you live in.

and just
what do you think the point is in 'dictating' physicians lecture you
on things both you and he are already perfectly free to discuss at any
time?

Exactly the same as any other regulation anywhere that mandates any
professional discuss anything with anyone. To make sure you don't get
screwed.

The hilarious part is someone bitching about it when they have no downside
to bitch about. One conversation in five years to prevent profiteering
you'd scream bloody murder about if it happened? Get a life. lol

Actually, you are pretty close to the mark. But it's not all
government, only Republican government.
