Won't denial-of-service cases be less rare under the proposed laws? At some point, we will have to limit the amount of money we are spending trying to keep people alive under near hopeless conditions. Something like 30% of the average persons lifetime cost of health care occurs in the last year of life. If it is their own money, fine, but when others pay through increased premiums, the patient and/or family will insist on extraordinary measures. The extra law suites won't help the cost of premiums either.
