you seem to be a bit of an expert on different healthcare options, to go along with your already exceptional knowledge of Sub $2 fine wines like Cisco. LOL.

But anyway one huge cost savings that they have in Europe is that if you are over a certain age, 80+ or something- I'm not quite sure actually- they don't do expensive procedures anymore. They have hospices where people go to die.

My question is- would that be so objected to in the US? We have a really morbid system keeping people alive for their last 2 weeks of life here. The EU system in some ways seems more humane.

Soon to be revised horseshit.
They are trying to go national with the Massachussetts system which is not working bullshit.
The state mandated everyone has to have health insurance but there are not enough doctors to see all these new patients. They have to wait 5 months for an appointment as a result they still use ERs.
The more things change..
