Thanks for the great research. So we are closer to the 20% to 25% range for last year of life medical expenditures. Does that strike anyone as being a bit high?

Why is Canada so much lower? Maybe their superior medical delivery system makes an early determination of outcome and stops allowing treatment. Maybe the sick cancer patients come the the US rather than languish in Canadian healthcare queues.
