Medicare should step up to the plate and continue to fund the care of these individuals until they die.

It's more than just "making a decision", where is Medicade going to get the funds? And what consequences does that have?

Oh, lets see. Stop funding Planned Parenthood and the Palestinians. Stop funding the Endowment for the Arts. Shut down the Congressional fitness center and take away a few of their perks. You know, things like that.

And what consequences does that have?

It would have the consequence of not pushing hospice facilities to 'off' people before they die naturally.
