The key point here is that apparently Medicare will be paying doctors specifically to do this.
If you want to shift the conversation into LiberalSpace, imagine an insurance corporation paying a doctor to give end-of-life counseling to someone who might cost that company a great deal of money in the future. How much do you trust that doctor's advice under those circumstances?
Frankly, I'm still trying to figure out why this counseling costs additional money in the first place. The legal forms are practically free, and medical advice on this involves no procedures, tests, or anything else that costs real money. Hell, it's a conversation, like telling you what foods you should be avoiding.
Notice Buck's assumption that without the government running this show, nobody would get end-of-life counseling any other way.
