He was a very hard seller. He came back to me many times with this. Did he have my Mom’s best interest in mind? I don’t know. Like you said, he’s a doctor, and that’s his job..and that’s how he makes money. By the way, this is not what we were in the hospital for. If you take tests of an elderly person, you’re going to come up with many things that may, or may not be fixable. This is my point. Because the government pays, the decisions AND THE OPTIONS are much different. If we want a system where every option is on the table and the cost doesn’t matter, than let’s just do it and get it over with, and we’ll be ok with giving 70% of our taxes to health care. This is the decision we’re going to have to decide as a country. I don’t know the answer but I’m going to keep asking the questions, even if I’m shot down on this site.
I agree with you totally. BUT, we have already decided to have ‘healthcare’ since we are all paying for those who can’t. This is only for the little people anyway because those who have will certainly never be dying in a hospice they are much toooo good for that. So since the decision has been made and because if I have to pay for those who have no money—I want the most for the longest for myself. Doesn’t that sound just about right and fair? It seems everyone fails to recognize the working person is the one paying the bill and it is the working person that most think should be honorable and die early to save money. WHY SHOULD THEY?
