You obviously missed the point - that is the whole “scandal” is self made by the health care industry - if they wouldn’t prescribe tons of unnecessary tests, hospital stays etc... (as shown repeatedly in the article) there would be MORE money left over to pay for the NECESSARY treatments!
It is the height of hypocracy for the “professionals” to, on the one side claim “sympathy” with the dying by stating that living the last days strapped in a bed and doped up is not “nobel” and at the same time order exactly that treatement - AND then have the balls to claim us patients need to make sacrifices if we want good care.
Obviously I did miss your point. Sorry about that.
I wonder if the doctors who deliberately squander resources are the same ones demanding human sacrifice to pay for their folly. I demand respect for life from the doctors my husband and I go to. Is it just coincidence that they don’t waste our insurance money on unnecessary procedures, or could it be a parallel character trait to a pro-life view? I wonder.
