Already in Oregon, one-third of those who chose assisted suicide last year cited the burden on their families and caregivers as a reason. A study in the Netherlands found that one in four doctors said they had killed patients without an explicit request--including one doctor who believed that a dying Dutch nun was prevented from requesting euthanasia because of her religion, so he felt...

On the one hand we want to make sure that employers don't dump their coverage and try to just put the burden onto the government. That's been one of the concerns that I had originally during the debates with John McCain about completely eliminating the exclusion. The majority of people still get health insurance from their employers. For them to suddenly just lose that and get some sort of tax credit...
