Typical conservative grandstanding

The Senate Finance Committee health insurance reform bill had a provision that would give patients the right to speak to a counselor about end-of-life issues. Many Republicans threw a fit and claimed that this was putting us on "a treacherous path toward government-encouraged euthanasia" (in the words of House Minority Whip John Boehner).

Only problem is, many of those same Republicans voted for just such a provision in 2003. And President George W. Bush signed it into law.

Hmm.
