From a Dec. 27 blog post by Philip Klein of the American Spectator: I thought I'd ask Ron Panzer, head of Hospice Patients Alliance (and a nurse), to comment on the story. Panzer, who's working on a book on the subject, says that "this is all about pushing forward the hospice utilization to 100 percent, or as close as they can get it." A person entering hospice could then be one of many patients quietly euthanized under the guise of end-of-life pain management. (See my April 29, 2010 column.) Panzer writes (edited): http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/abbott/101228
