Is Newt Gingrich promoting the "death panels?"?

April 8th, 2011 2 comments

More than 20 percent of all Medicare spending occurs in the last two months of life. Gundersen Lutheran Health System in La Crosse, Wisconsin

has developed a successful end-of-life,

best practice that combines: 1) community-wide advance care planning, where 90 percent of patients have advance directives; 2) hospice and palliative care; and 3) coordination of services through an electronic medical record. The Gundersen approach empowers patients and families to control and direct their care.

So it’s okay if he suggests it, but not if it is a health reform policy.
