O'Fallon loon Cynthia Davis called hunger a "positive motivator" last year and suggested freeloading children get jobs at McDonald's if they want to eat.
This year, Davis is concerned about feeding people who don't want to be fed. Davis is sponsoring H.B. 1235, which would require terminally ill patients to be fed by feeding tubes for 60 days -- even if they've said they don't want them.
And after the 60 days, health-care providers would have to feed the patient food and water by mouth three times a day.
Such oral feedings shall be offered to the extent andDavis clearly believes she knows what's good for youdegree that the patient is able and willing to swallow or hold food in
the patient's mouth, unless there is clear and evident choking,
distress, and pain.
If a patient swallows at any time during oral feeding, suchswallowing shall be deemed a desire to continue oral feeding or
artificially supplied nutrition and hydration and shall be considered a
revocation of any health care directive to the contrary.
and your end-of-life decisions. She's also motivated by a fear of
Kenyan Communist Dictator Barrack Hussein Obama and his death panels.
She just knows that B.O. would pull your grandma's feeding tube if he
gets the chance to save a few bucks.
Ironically, Davis was against feeding tubes before she was for them. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reminds us that Davis and her fellow Republicans in the Missouri House voted to cut Medicaid insurance for 100,000 people in 2005.
Of course, Davis' bill is going to add thousands and thousands of dollars to nursing home and hospital patients' bills. The Post-Dispatch also points out that buying breakfast and lunch for a hungry kid would cost just under $5 per kid.

Clearly she has never cared for a dying loved one. Otherwise she would have come to understand what she proposes is inhumane . Anyone involved in it should be imprisoned for cruelty. At the very least she should be educated on the dying process. The body knows what to do. Inflicting such a regiment on a dying person is incomprehensible. When life comes to a NATURAL conclusion the body knows what to do. Don't play God. We all have the right to live and die with dignity. Perhaps could become a hospice volunteer or forced to sit at the bedside of her victims until she herself cannot stand the suffering.
