"The practice of bankrupting families in order to torture the elderly in their last few weeks of life is not rational, but it's what consumers demand in this country"

We don'r bankrupt the families for the last few weeks treatment as a rule, the bulk is paid by medicare. Another issue is nursing homes, amybody who pays for nursing home care out of their own pocket is either very rich or hasn't found the right lawyer. We the taxpayer also pay for that. Maybe if the families had to go bankrupt to pay for that last few weeks the system would be more rational.
