August 15, 2009 Update

Dennis Christensen has been contacted by many who have been concerned that the proposed House of Representatives health care bill would pressure older Americans to end their lives sooner than they want. This is not true.

Read this section of the bill here and you'll see there aren't any requirements to discuss end-of-life care with anyone anywhere. What is being proposed is am n additional benefit for senior citizens where Medicare would pay physicians to discuss these matters, and only if beneficiaries want it.

If you have any questions, please call Dennis Christensen's office during business hours at 843.971.1199, or call WTMA's Senior Focus show this Saturday between 9 and 10 a.m.

The discussion is hosted by Dennis Christensen, an attorney who specializes in elder law and estate planning. Shows cover issues and concerns on aging, legal matters affecting seniors, benefits, planning and community resources for seniors. John Quincy is the announcer.

Listeners are invited to call in during the show to ask questions and comment on the show¹s discussion topics. The call-in number is (843) 556-1250.
