What did Obama mean when he spoke of chronic Illness?And that some sort of panel to advise people since the cost of chronic illness and end of life illness consumed a huge proportion of medical costs. Twice I've seen these quotes, but does he even once combine the two terms, thereby conveniently leaving the door open to gosh only knows what. He was originally speaking of his grandmother and her co-morbid conditions, so it would be expected that the phrase he spoke would be , people which chronic multiple conditions that are near the end of their lives, but he didn't. I can't imagine this was as accident as we all know how craftily he prepares his speech. Was this an ignorant oversight, or was is an attempt to mislead.

Chronic renal failure
Diabetes mellitus
Chronic hepatitis
Autoimmune diseases, like ulcerative colitis, lupus erythematosus

No need to focus on the details of any government controlled health care plan. Its a bad idea to give governments this power regardless of how good any plan sounds.
Its really no different then you giving me control over your care. You have no idea what you'll get.

If your to old and sick to work and pay taxes then you have a chronic illness and will get "end of life counseling".
