#7  OK, so author of this tripe states that this woman was denied coverage for cancer treatment but her insurance covers assisted suicide. A couple of questions if I may - you know, the kind an actual journalist might ask. Why was the treatment denied? "Chemotherapy " is often a vague discription was it an "experimental " drug. What Insurance company was involved? Did the author even bother to ask for a comment from said company? Does this company actually cover treatment that intentionally results in suicide? Or are these so-called life ending drugs actually just pain medication that might be taken by the fistful with a tall glass of bourbon? What, exactly in the new CA law allows insurance companies to deny coverage they previously approved? And last one. Who buys into these bullshit propaganda stories anyway?

#6  Probably the true intention of the assisted suicide bill in the first place.

Like the massive rate hikes on Obumblecare weren't expected when they wrote the legislation to let the insurers off the leash after five years...

#4  One would think that after being wrong so many times, these "progressives" would start questioning their world view.

As long as they're richly rewarded by the society, you expect any different - "Après nous le déluge".

I guess they are all truly insane.
