It doesn’t look like she is serious about fending off death.
Do we go out of our way with non compliant patients who do nothing to help their situation? Do we force unwanted care on an individual?
Is there an inflexible play book that says that all efforts must be expended to prolong a life? Or do the patient and doctor get a say in the matter. I missed reading where the patients wants and needs were asked in this case.
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.
Flame away.
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.
I agree. Some people aren’t willing to do anything to prolong their own lives. They should be allowed to make that choice, in my opinion.
