It certainly is true that if we could figure out when a person is one year from death and deny them all care but hospice type care that nearly half of all healthcare dollars would be saved.

I would not want to know a person who would advocate such a policy.


If we could know that, it would be insane to do otherwise with public money. I can't imagine anyone opposing that policy. Of course we can't know that, so the question is moot.

Seems to me that for an elderly woman diagnosed with heart failure or lung cancer, it's pretty silly to get a mammogram no matter who's paying for it.
