Okay, so those who think the costs are too high, don’t get treatments. The rest of us can avail ourselves upon the health care system with the best cancer survival rate in the world. We’ll see who lives the longest.
I saw part of it before switching in disgust - some woman was babbling on about how “... during the last four weeks of a person’s life their medical costs are $50,000 ...”
My husband had left the tv running after he walked out of the room. I was in the kitchen and overheard this propaganda piece; needless to say I changed the channel.

Watched it. Never a mention of all the hospital stays that have resulted in older patients recovering and living meaningful lives for many years. Ralm Emmanuals brother (Obama’s expert) suggests age 55 or earlier for limiting care.
And, of course, their decision had nothing to do with the fact that CBS had their cameras at his bed trying to shame him and his family into the outcome they wanted. /sarc
Just wow. We are offically living in Bizarro World. And it’s damn scary...
I did not need to see this on 60 Minutes, I have been fending off a Dr.Death this past week. She tried to scare me off treating my mother’s pneumonia. She even said she had a DNR,she and the er backed down in a hurry when I said let me see this document. There was no document I’m the medical power of attorney and I never signed one. After I demanded to see it they said they didn’t have a copy and that it was rescinded anyway, I looked straight at her and said IT NEVER EXISTED.
cBS and the doctor(s) they interviewed advocate death panels. One doctor said it should not be up to weak patients to decide procedures, but to use a blanket policy to deny care for people in their particular conditions.
The patient and their family are the ones who should decide to live on not you guys at cBS and the doctors who advocate death.
Another doctor said today’s health care will lead the US to bankruptcy, and conveyed the idea that care should be withheld. I don’t agree with the premise...or by having the government completely takeover the health industry is the answer to cost problems that we don’t really have?
They’ve worked so hard to keep us all alive, lose weight, don’t smoke, don’t drink to excess, exersize, go to the doctor regularly, eat your vegetables and now they want us to hurry up and die.
Helth Care “reform” is health care redistribution.
The $50,000 is going to be spent on somebody who does NOT pay into any system; low income, indigent, illegal immigrant.
The $50,000 was being spent at the end of the life of somebody who WAS paying into the system; employer/private insurance, own cash.
I intend to be a health care resister, if the government tries to tax me for a system I don’t want to be a part of.
I got chills watching it. They’re setting us up for what’s to come with Obamacare.
59 Minutes now advocating for death panels. Its one of the worst fake news shows on tv.
I bet nobody mentioned how much money was spent on Chappaquadick Ted for extending his life a few months. He did have what was probably a very expensive brain surgery on a tumor that all the medical experts agreed was a terminal case.
they are going to have to start installing metal detectors in hospitals...
because anyone coming to unplug any of my family members will receive a rapid onset lead injection.
Oh but that is right, typical leftist trash, these rules are for thee not for me.
