Earl Blumenauer
Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., suggested at a National Journal policy summit on Tuesday that Americans should be allowed to choose health insurance plans that fit their individual expectations for the end of life. In 2009, Blumenauer took the lead in attempting to debunk the death panel claims, endorsing a provision that “simply allows Medicare to pay for a conversation between patients and their doctors if the patient wishes to speak about his or her preferences and values.”
