This bill is very bad for Alaska.  Because of our high cost of care, it is significantly worse for Alaska than any other state.   In voting to pass this bill, 44 year Alaskan Congressman, Don Young, broke Ted Stevens #1 rule, "To hell with politics, do what's best for Alaska."  He did not just break Uncle Ted's rule, he stomped it into the dirt while pissing on his grave.  Don says he did this for future clout.  Who is he kidding?  Don Young has had no clout for years and will remain the TOOTHLESS OLD TIGER that he is.  Don Young's rule is simple, "Do what's best for Don."   Who is the head of the Alaska Death Panel now Don?  Maybe we can name the road to the cemetery Don Young Way.  Retiring Don is long overdue.  He has pretty much been on the wrong side of history his entire career.  I predict he will lose his next election by 5 points or more.    Good riddance.
