In doing a little research, I discovered that the nefarious "death panels" are already existing law!
HR 3200 Section 1233 amends Section 1861 of the Social Security Act (Medicare). It adds "advanced care planning consultation" to the definition of "Medical and Other Services" - subsection (s).
But in looking at SSA Section 1861, "advanced care planning" is already there!
It was added last year as part of PL 110-275, which passed with an override of a presidential veto: 383-41 in the House (Roll Call Vote 491) and 70-26 in the Senate (Roll Call Vote 177)
PL 110-275 originated as HR 6331. Section 101(b)(iii) of this bill adds 'end-of-life planning' to the 'Initial Preventative Physical Examination'.
It further defines 'end-of-life planning':
(3) For purposes of paragraph (1), the term `end-of-life planning' means verbal or written information regarding--
(A) an individual's ability to prepare an advance directive in the case that an injury or illness causes the individual to be unable to make health care decisions; and
(B) whether or not the physician is willing to follow the individual's wishes as expressed in an advance directive.
Here it is in its final form in CURRENT LAW (SSA Title XVIII Section 1861):
Initial Preventive Physical Examination
(ww)(1) The term "initial preventive physical examination" means physicians’services consisting of a physical examination (including measurement of height, weight, body mass index,[474] and blood pressure[475]) with the goal of health promotion and disease detection and includes education, counseling, and referral with respect to screening and other preventive services described in paragraph (2) and end-of-life planning (as defined in paragraph (3)) upon the agreement with the individual[476], but does not include clinical laboratory tests.

(3)[480] For purposes of paragraph (1), the term "end-of-life planning" means verbal or written information regarding—
(A) an individual’s ability to prepare an advance directive in the case that an injury or illness causes the individual to be unable to make health care decisions; and
(B) whether or not the physician is willing to follow the individual’s wishes as expressed in an advance directive.
Just more fake outrage from the right.
