Ted, Yes, Joe, there should a be used car insurance policy where if someone is diagnosed with leukemia, they are given two aspirins and told to get lots of bed rest. No sense talking to an elitist about health insurance for the masses! You might be interested in knowing that spending inordinate amounts of money on cases with low probability of improvement is what killing the health insurance for masses. It increases costs, increased cost lowers affordability, which in turn lowers enrollment. I thought it was one of the states in your neck of the woods (Oregon or Washington) that experimented in this area - area of cost benefit analysis when the money is taken from a common pool of funds (either insurance provider or state sponsored Medicare / Medicaid).
