Massachusetts Moves to Require End-of-Life Talks



Mass. Moves to Require End-of-Life Talks:
WBUR radio and Kaiser Health News report that the Massachusetts Senate has quietly approved a measure requiring doctors and nurses to discuss end of life options with patients who have a terminal illness. The Palliative Care Awareness bill was included as part of a sweeping health reform measure and, remarkably, was not controversial. It was supported by both Republicans and Democrats and by a wide range of advocacy groups, including leading right-to-life organizations.
