AARP Picks 2010 Winners, Losers

Via Kevin Richert’s blog site , AARP picked the 2010 Legislature winners & losers, including “Living wills, advance directives, or other end of life instructions, which AARP listed in the “loser” category: Learn someone else’s conscience on your deathbed. The ill-conceived Freedom of Conscience bill (Senate Bill 1353), introduced by Senator Chuck Winder, will allow all health care professionals (from doctors to dieticians); to refuse to provide any “end of life care and treatment” that violates their “conscience.” That means living wills, advance directives, or any other end of life instructions can be ignored. Despite thousands of AARP members and the public voicing strong opposition to the inclusion of the language in the bill, the bill became law.

Question: Who would you list as winners & losers during the 2010 Legislature?
