We were told, that the Obamacare death panels, were a thing of overactive imaginations.
Now it would seem that statement was a lie, and death panels are a fact of reality.
Cassie Cassidy, 64, is in Fairview Hospital in Edina, Minnesota, with lung cancer. "She is on oxygen, not on a ventilator – but she does require supplemental oxygen to stay comfortable and to sustain her life," says Alexandra Snyder of Life Legal Defense Foundation.
Cassidy's health care proxy informed her the hospital planned to remove the oxygen, which would have caused her death – a plan to which Cassidy objected.
Snyder reports there's now been a change of plans. "The hospital had a meeting with the health care proxy and we were informed that the hospital is now complying with the patient's wishes and she will remain on oxygen," says Snyder.
She adds that Life Legal Defense Foundation is prepared to re-enter case, if necessary, to protect Cassidy's life and obtain the hospital's compliance with state law.
