    Really is a scary thought, and it's sad that no steps have been taken to prevent it. We've had years, but this administration has been pretty focused on its own agenda...

    This is a very serious matter and it will affect every american in the United States.If there is going to be tax cuts on all departments will jobs be lost. If our economy goes into a recession how will our economy come back from that? No one knows if this will benefit or hurt. This is why this is so difficult too think about.

    Well its a sad that the government just blows this problem over there shoulders with no care in the world, and we the people take the bullet for it.

    It's also sad that during this current Congress they voted to repeal the ACA thirty sometimes other then work on this issue. I think that many people forget that the Obama Administration has presented a jobs plan and the House rejected it just as the Senate/President have rejected job plans brought up by the House. This is the exact reason that we're even in this mess. A lack of compromise on all sides.

    The ones unaffected from the result of the fiscal cliff are the retired, disabled, the unemployed and the rich that do not work

    "Fiscal cliff negotiators are considering a raise in the age for Medicare eligibility, which some voters support. But the move could have some unexpected consequences."

    Just because people are living longer doesn't mean they're able to work.

    I also support the right to die movement. I watched a really interesting documentary, How to Die in Oregon, about Oregon's Death with Dignity Act. It's a really interesting movie and I'd suggest it to anyone.

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/9334190/Sir-Terry-Pratchett-opponents-of-assisted-suicide-stir-up-needless-hysteria.html This article doesn't mention the movement in the U.S., but I really like what Sir Pratchett says about the opposition to the right to die movement.

    Hmm. This is a very interesting and touchy topic. Personally I think that if the patient is mentally stable and capable of making this choice then they should be allowed to do it. If it was me, I wouldn't want to suffer with a terminal illness. This method is just more humane than jumping off a cliff or pulling the trigger

    I very much agree with the right-to-die movement and i especially agree with Hayley.

    This is quite a weird subject! I think that people should have the right.

    I think people should have the right, it's there life.

    Very interesting. I believe that if the patient is terminally ill, and has the ability to consciously decide if they want to die, then it is really their choice and no one else's.
