What will will there be to reign in judicial decisions that help bring down those costs?

In the short term it will be the large number of seniors. But that will not last.

Shalom.

Those seniors will see keeping costs down as a way to preserve health care for themselves not as a threat to their individual access to treatment much less a threat to the methods of treatment. They will hang themselves on their own petards just as senior Veterans vote for Bernie Sanders to pump up Veteran's benefits at the cost of support for the active military.

The real problem is not any large scale advance in euthanasia, which will not happen until the now very large Baby Boomer generation is out of power, and its voting clout is miniscule. However, after 2030, that could be a serious concern, as the average baby boomer will be about 80 years old and Generation X, Generation Y, and the Millenials may want to eliminate those who they will perceive as being a heavy burden on a medical system that will probably be more socialized.

The real problem is judicial overreach. The back of judicial supremacy in our tripartite system of government must be broken, and the legislative and executive branches need to be empowered to exercise their respective spheres of authority as the Founding Fathers envisioned.
