"It will give people more control over the care they receive," Mr.
Blumenauer said in an interview. "It means that doctors and patients
can have these conversations in the normal course of business, as
part of our health care routine, not as something put off until we
are forced to do it."

Exactly. Excellent.


How do you feel about this being enacted by regulation after being
rejected
by Congress due to the objections of the public?


Since the objections were based on rumor and gossip, it's okay with me
that facts were used to establish the regulation.



So the voters' opinions don't count, someone other than the voters is
allowed to decide the voters' opinions are wrong?

That's the "progressive" way!
