Rick Santorum Says Dutch Euthanize their Elderly

As reported by The Atlantic:
Rick Santorum claimed that 10 per cent of the Netherlands' deaths were from euthanasia, 5 percent forced, and that "elderly people in the Netherlands don't go to the hospital" or, if they do, wear bracelets saying "do not euthanize me," all of which is false.
A Dutch reporter asked a Santorum spokesperson (video included) about this, and she imitated a broken record, not really addressing the issue of the false claim.

More information is here, along with a video of Santorum making his claims.
