"If you don’t want insurers having input into the end of life process, fund it with your own money.There are infinite ways to spend multi million dollars in care to buy time to prevent death for months/weeks/days. If we are going to use government power to make all insurers spend multi million dollars for end of life care, insurance will be priced out of reach or will simply go out of business."

EXACTLY. BTTT

When one uses other people's money (taxpayers /the government) to fund his "healthcare", he is giving them the power to tell him how to live (or die).

Like it or lump it... it's true.

If you want a special rider on your insurance that covers unlimited end of life treatment, I’m sure there is an insurer that will sell it to you.

It might cost as much as a new car every year to pay for it.

I agree. I also think those who believe this woman should be saved from the deadly results of her purposeful non-compliance with medical recommendations by spending large sums of money should spend their own money on her.

The doctor could pay out of pocket for the tests and treatments for this cuddy free spirit, could he not?

Those Freepers here who think someone ought to pay for her care could pony up as well, maybe start a fund or charity to keep her alive a while longer.

Perhaps her family and friends could chip in the costs to repair her self
destruction.

It eludes me why this should be the financially responsibility of others who pay into her insurance plan, or the taxpayers.

And yes, the same goes for all the rest of us. If we are not responsible enough to do the heavy lifting to keep ourselves healthy, I have no idea why any of us should feel so entitled that we expect or demand others to sacrifice the fruits of their labors for us, especially those forced to do so involuntarily.
