I don’t consider the goal of medicine, which is paid for by current and future patients, to be giving us eternal, painless, worry-free life regardless of cost.

Total non sequitor re cost of medical treatment. You are free to decline whatever treatment is offered and also free to avoid the biomedical hegemony altogether, but for those who interact, the treatments and diagnoses are more varied and complex therefore costly than they used to be.

“You are free to decline whatever treatment is offered and “

Not that simple. I’m paying for medical care through taxes and employer-supplied insurance whether or not I use medical care.
