You do understand this means rationing and death panels. How do you think people in this country will react to that? We are a people who want the very best, and we want it 5 minutes ago. This won’t end well.

I see this is being done now. Medicare also hangs the carrot of Hospice which covers at 100% once doctors tell you nothing more can be done.

My personal experience with hospice is essentially the same as putting down Fido. They essentially give you painkilling drugs until you slip into death. It happens at very different timelines. Some times it is quick while others could take months or even years.
